Boeing whistleblower John Barnett who was found dead in his truck with a gun in his hand
A suicide note was allegedly found next to Boeing whistleblower John Barnett who was found dead in his truck with a gun in his hand
A hotel staff member found Barnett after someone contacted the hotel for a wellness check on him.
Barnett had his "right pointer finger remaining on the trigger" with a "gunshot wound near his right temple," according to the police report.
A "white piece of paper that closely resembled a note" was on the passenger seat next to him. The contents of the note have not been released.
Barnett's lawyers say there was "no indication" Barnett would take his life.
"John was in the midst of a deposition in his whistleblower retaliation case, which finally was nearing the end. He was in very good spirits and really looking forward to putting this phase of his life behind him and moving on. We didn't see any indication he would take his own life. No one can believe it."
"We are all devastated. We need more information about what happened to John. The Charleston police need to investigate this fully and accurately and tell the public what they find out. No detail can be left unturned."
Weird.
