CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC/Gray News) - Authorities in South Carolina released their findings on the death of a Boeing whistleblower.

John Barnett, 62, was found dead inside his truck on March 9 with a gunshot wound to his head outside of the Holiday Inn located at 301 Savannah Highway. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Barnett, who worked for Boeing for 32 years, filed a whistleblower complaint alleging safety concerns.

The United States Department of Labor was working through the discovery phase of its investigation and is set to begin hearings on that complaint this June.

Police said they found no evidence of forced entry or a struggle inside the vehicle. The orange 2015 Dodge Ram trucks key fob was found in Barnetts pocket.

The Charleston County Coroners Office determined Barnetts death to be a suicide.
Barnett had been in Charleston providing a deposition.

Officers located Barnett with a silver Smith and Wesson handgun in his right hand. Ballistics confirmed the bullet recovered at the scene and the casing had been fired from the gun found in Barnetts hand.

Barnett legally purchased the gun.

A police report states Barnetts finger was still on the trigger when officers attempted to remove the gun from his hand. A police report states no fingerprints were recovered from the gun.

A notebook containing a note written by Barnett was found in the passenger seat.
Police said the note suggested Barnett was going through a period of serious personal distress.

Barnetts fingerprints were found on the note and notebook. Police said three prints were inconclusive because they lacked detail for identification.

The erratic writings on the page express Barnetts frustration toward Boeing and whistleblower protection.

I pray Boeing pays, the note read. Whistleblowing protection is f----- up too!
The writings leave messages for Barnetts loved ones as well.

Family and friends, I love you, it read. I found my purpose! Im at peace!

Yeah this is the first guy, not the 3rd, but it's not entirely OPs fault. For some reason, a shit ton of articles have come out today making it seem like he just died

Okay i dont doubt that Boeing has played a role in these deaths, but this one seems far fetched to me if people are implying Boeing did the killing.

Theres no fingerprints or evidence of forced entry into the truck. No evidence of a struggle either.

Unless Boeing is hiring ninjas I dont think this should immediately be blamed on them this time. If theres blackmail or other threats that made the guy do this, I can see that as being a big possibility.

Yeah, this isn't a 3rd death. John Barnett was the first whistleblower that died. We're just getting new information about it now because they released the coroner report.

Boeing are notorious amongst the aerospace industry for their poor quality control. Why do you think there were even 3 whistle-blowers to begin with?

Ok, well I messed up and there's no reason for the topic to continue, so if the mods would be so kind as to close it that'd be appreciated.

If you are in the US, it's hard to avoid them. I think most US airlines use almost exclusively Boeing built planes

Ok, yes everyone, I know I got it wrong.

My friend sent me a Twitter link about this and I asked if it was the 3rd one and he said yes.

That's on me for not being more thorough and taking his word on it because he's a rather informed guy, so we all now know I was wrong and we all know by now it wasn't the 3rd one. Really don't need anymore superfluous posts pointing out the same information that's already been stated.
