John Barnett, the former quality control manager for Boeing until 2017, was in the “midst of” the whistleblowing case when he allegedly took his own life — but his attorneys are demanding answers from police, seemingly calling his sudden passing suspicious, considering the timing and Barnett’s positive outlook on the future, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The former Boeing employee was allegedly in good spirits and looking forward to putting the retaliation lawsuit against Boeing behind him. Barnett’s legal team, Robert Turkewitz and Brian Knowles, who were repping him in the legal battle, said their client was “in the midst of a deposition in his whistleblower retaliation case, which finally was nearing the end,” making his alleged suicide that more mysterious.
“We didn’t see any indication he would take his own life. No one can believe it,” Turkewitz and Knowles told TMZ, adding that Barnett was excited about moving on from the legal battle with the airline giant.
