It said the 62-year-old had died from a "self-inflicted" wound on 9 March and police were investigating.

Assuming there's nothing more insidious than what's thus far reported and maybe even if there is, this would be far and away the most damming thing a person could do to Boeing in the long run

At the time of his death, Mr Barnett had been in Charleston for legal interviews linked to that case. Last week, he gave a formal deposition in which he was questioned by Boeing's lawyers, before being cross-examined by his own counsel. He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday. When he did not appear, enquiries were made at his hotel. He was subsequently found dead in his truck in the hotel car park.

I mean doesn’t that sound a little sus?
