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.

Wait… is this an older death… or is it another Boeing whistleblower?

Second. John Barnett was the first in early March.

Okay. Just making sure.

It’s not suspicious at all that two whistleblowers wind up dead, or nuthin.
