BOEING whistleblower Joshua Dean has died following a sudden illness, his family have confirmed.
Dean was an employee of Spirit AeroSystems who claimed he was fired after alerting people to the Boeing supplier’s negligence in the production of the 737 MAX.
The death of the Boeing whistleblower comes as Boeing planes suffer numerous faults such as this pictured Alaska Airlines jet after a window was ripped out mid-flight
The 45-year-old who worked as a quality auditor, flagged poor production standards at the Witchita, Kansas plant which saw defects ignored.
His Lawyer Brian Knowles called his death a “loss to the aviation community and the flying public.”
In a Facebook post on Friday, Dean’s mother said that her son had contracted an MRSA infection causing pneumonia and a stroke.
She said that her son was “fighting for his life.”
