Joshua Dean, a former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems and one of the first whistleblowers to allege Spirit leadership had ignored manufacturing defects on the 737 MAX, died Tuesday morning after a struggle with a sudden, fast-spreading infection.

Known as Josh, Dean lived in Wichita, Kan., where Spirit is based. He was 45, had been in good health and was noted for having a healthy lifestyle.

He died after two weeks in critical condition, his aunt Carol Parsons said.

    Ok how would you have done it? Keep in mind it has to look like not murder and you already did suicide. I can’t think of a better way. Give him the pathogen that is found everywhere now. Oh that didn’t kill him? Fine grab a wipe out of the biohazard bin and wipe down a table with it in his room.

    As I said a determined 12 year old could pull it off. I literally know two people self-isolating from the virus now.

      So, the same company that allegedly had a man shoot himself a few weeks back is now so worried about making it look like an accident, that they’re willing to use a method that has about the same success rate as pushing him off a bicycle? Not buying it. Frankly, it’s so absurd on its face that the burden of proof is overwhelming.

      Sometimes people die. Sometimes they die with unfortunate timing. Again, the suicide one is sus, investigate that all day. Leave this person’s family and memory alone, they deserve peace.
