Edward Snowden voiced his stance on the death of whistleblower John Barnett, associated with Boeing, who was found deceased shortly after providing crucial testimony. The circumstances of his death have ignited a firestorm of speculation and concern.

What Happened: Snowden shared a concerning message on Wednesday, suggesting foul play in the death of a Boeing whistleblower.

An X user Jerrick White wrote on the social media platform that Barnett had planned to drive home to Lousiana after his deposition on Mar. 8 but he stayed back when Boeing lawyers asked him to stay one more day to finish his testimony. He was found dead the next morning.

Snowden reposted the comment with a screenshot that read, “Whistleblower said ‘if I die, it wasn’t suicide’.”

Why It Matters: The untimely death of Barnett, a former Boeing employee, has occurred amid the company’s legal troubles. Barnett, who had a 32-year career at Boeing and retired in 2017, was found dead from a self-inflicted wound on March 9, as reported by the BBC. His passing is particularly alarming given his active role in a whistleblower lawsuit against Boeing.

The scrutiny on Boeing extends to its CEO, Dave Calhoun, as the company faces what has been described as an ‘extreme embarrassment’ due to a series of crises involving its fleet of airlines. These incidents have led to a significant drop in the company’s stock value and have left industry experts and analysts questioning the leadership’s response to these challenges.
