I read the article and I have one outstanding question. Is this the same guy who stated he is not suicidal days before?
People contemplating suicide tend to do that. They put on a false front, saying that they're okay when they really aren't.
Couple that with a bad session in front of the appeal judges... and yeah. You can see why he did it.
A 7-year legal battle to overturn his loss of the lawsuit against Boeing for their retaliation over his whistleblowing... And it was looking like the final appeal, his final chance, was slipping away.
If this is really the case, this should still be considered murder by Boeing
As evil as Boeing is, you have to give John Barnett his agency. He made that final choice.
Boeing and an arcane legal system may have driven him to it, but he was the one who made that choice.
