John Barnett had worked for Boeing for 32 years, until his retirement in 2017.

In the days before his death, he had been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company.

Boeing said it was saddened to hear of Mr Barnett’s passing. The Charleston County coroner confirmed his death to the BBC on Monday.

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

      Then we need to find another word to express when people gets together to do shady shit, which happens more often than not.

        No arguments here. I’d like to be able to differentiate between people going shady shit and flat earth believers.
