  • Who waits 7 years for a lawsuit and offs them self when the trial is set?
  • @shnorman1
    I read somewhere that Barnett said if I die and they call it suicide, look for the murderer.
  • @LasVegas68
    For Boeing to say their hearts go out to Barnett"s family is just sickening. Those people at Boeing probably popped a bottle of Champagne and high fived each other when they were told "Boeing's biggest problem had been taken care of."
  • Ain’t no one on earth who believes this was a self-inflicted gunshot wound
  • Shame on the corporate bullies that aren't valuing their loyal and experienced employees.
  • @bobloblaw9679
    it is so obvious boeing did it---this man was silenced.
  • @MrMuis06
    The Coroner said it "appears" to be a suicide...wtf does that mean? The family needs to have an independent investigation.
  • A brave man . He should be an example to us all . Honor and valor .
  • @sebastianwrites
    The fact that he said he was concerned about this happening to his family, and said don't believe it, if they try to make it look as if I've killed myself!
  • @noam65
    The fact that there was no serious investigation into this very suspicious death is outrageous, alarming, and shameful. The family should hire it's own forensic pathologist to investigate. If it's proven that it was not a suicide, those responsible at federal and state levels for the investigation should resign.

    This is what sucks in our society today. A major company has massive safety issues that directly affect the lives of Americans, & the CEO leaves on a golden parachute. You & I would be fired & our benefits denied. A good presidential candidate would run w/this & hold Boeing's feet to the fire. Show the voters what's more important, our lives or their profits?
