The whistleblower who accused one of the parts makers of the American aircraft giant, Boeing, of ignoring the defects of the 737 Max model, died suddenly! |
According to Webangah News quoted by Mehr News quoted by Al-Jazeera, Joshua Dean, a former employee of “Spirit Aerosystems” (which produces aircraft parts for Boeing), in the midst of a legal dispute with this company, after filing charges Against it, he died suddenly!
Dean’s family has confirmed and announced his death. Dean accused Spirit Aerosystems of not meeting high standards and claimed that the company had fired him in retaliation for this filing.
Dean’s family announced on social media that he died of a “sudden illness”. His lawyer also described Dean’s death as “a blow to the aviation community and air passenger services”.
Spirit Aerosystems also expressed its condolences to Dean’s family in an interview with Al Jazeera. Joshua Dean’s mother wrote in a message last month that her son was infected with some kind of viral disease. At the same time, “Seattle Times”, which first reported his death, wrote that Dean was 45 years old and was “well-known for his healthy lifestyle”!
The news of Dean’s death comes as less than two months ago, the body of Boeing whistleblower John Barnett was discovered, and South Carolina authorities claimed that He shot himself!
Spirit Aerosystems has been under investigation since it was revealed that it manufactures the Boeing 737 Max wing door covers for the aircraft giant. This investigation was started after one of the Boeing 737 planes crashed in January after the wing cover came off during flight, but fortunately there were no victims.
