    Joshua Dean, a Boeing whistleblower who warned of manufacturing defects in
    the planemaker’s 737 Max, has died after a short illness, the second
    Boeing whistleblower to die this year.

    Dean, 45, a former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems,
    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.

    In 2018 and 2019, two 737 Max planes were involved in fatal crashes, which killed 346 people. Dean was fired by Spirit last year, and filed a
    complaint with the Department of Labor alleging that his termination was
    in retaliation for raising safety concerns.

    According to the Seattle Times, Dean was hospitalized after having trouble breathing. He was intubated and developed pneumonia and a serious
    infection before dying two weeks later.

    “He passed away yesterday morning, and his absence will be deeply felt. We
    will always love you Josh,” Dean’s aunt, Carol Dean Parsons, said via
    Facebook.

    Dean was represented by the same law firm that represented Boeing
    whistleblower John “Mitch” Barnett. Barnett, 62, was found dead in March
    from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

    Barnett spent almost three decades at Boeing, and told the New York Times
    in 2019 that he had found “clusters or metal slivers” hanging over the
    wiring of flight controls that could have caused “catastrophic” damage if
    they had penetrated wires.

    He alleged that management had ignored his complaints and moved him to
    another part of the plant.

    Last month, another Boeing whistleblower, Sam Salehpour, told Congress
    there was “no safety culture” at Boeing, and alleged that employees who
    raised the alarm were “ignored, marginalized, threatened, sidelined and
    worse”. He said he feared “physical violence” after going public with his concerns.

    US regulators are now investigating Boeing after a mid-air door-panel
    blowout in January on a Boeing 737 Max 9.

    Reuters reported last month that the justice department is now weighing
    whether Boeing violated an agreement that shielded it from criminal
    prosecution over the fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019.
