Joshua Dean, a former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems and one of the first whistleblowers to allege Spirit leadership had ignored manufacturing defects on the 737 MAX, died Tuesday morning after a struggle with a sudden, fast-spreading infection.
Known as Josh, Dean lived in Wichita, Kan., where Spirit is based. He was 45, had been in good health and was noted for having a healthy lifestyle.
He died after two weeks in critical condition, his aunt Carol Parsons said.
All these accidental coincidence deaths starting to remind me of a certain Eurasia country
…but with no windows involved.
So uhh this is awkward. But this is their second whistleblower to die? At what point do we uhhh investigate this?
Wait… is this an older death… or is it another Boeing whistleblower?
Second. John Barnett was the first in early March.
Okay. Just making sure.
It’s not suspicious at all that two whistleblowers wind up dead, or nuthin.
Uh-oh. This is bad news for Boeing. They better offer a stock buyback just in case.
A local politician in my area died recently of an unknown infection. No one will say anything more about it. I realize the Boeing whistleblower was probably a hit. But are we not concerned in general about deadly infections escaping and starting the next pandemic, as if using them for hit jobs weren’t bad enough?
Certain pathogens can be very deadly but not very easily spread. Perfect for hits.
Murdered. Josh Dean was murdered.
Wait wait was this the guy who was transferred to a different project as ‘punishment’ by Boeing or someone else?
This is a new one who died from a sudden and severe MSRA infection…
Both were being represented by the same law firm in the same case against Boeing and Spirit (Boeings contractor for parts and assembly).
Ahh okay cool different guy 👍👍
Also probably not bumped off by the big B but then again who knows at this point lol
Strange unexplained fatal illness, to otherwise healthy guy, outta nowhere right after the deposition.
Goddamn, Boeing. Thats some CIA shit
BOEING KILLED JOHN BARNETT AND JOSH DEAN
Claiming the second can harm the credibility of the first. You better be sure.
Care to place a bet?
The dude died in the hospital because a MRSA infection, so I’ll take your bet, as much as you’re willing to put up.
When you hire a more expensive assassin, they don’t just fake a suicide. They make it look natural.
There are better bioweapon options than MRSA, even for something like this. Sometimes shit just happens.
That’s why it’s a good one.
