A second Boeing whistleblower has died just two months after his colleague was found dead with gunshot wounds in a car park.
Joshua Dean, a former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems, warned of manufacturing defects in the planemaker’s 737 Max.
He filed a complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) alleging “serious and gross misconduct by senior quality management of the 737 production line” at Spirit.
The 45-year-old died on Tuesday after developing pneumonia following a “fast-moving” infection of Influenza B and MRSA.
According to reports, Mr Dean followed an active lifestyle and was believed to be in good health until his “sudden” death in Oklahoma.
