Was he found in Ft. Marcy Park?

I heard suicides happen there.

There are a couple posters here who think its horrible that so many people are talking bad about boeing. Im sure the chinese or russians forced boeing to trash their quality control. Forced them to cut corners.

“Barnett’s attorney, Brian Knowles, called the passing of his client “tragic” ... and went on to express explicit doubt about the circumstances of his death, making sure to call the self-inflicted gunshot wound cops are citing as “alleged.”

Same thing happened to Vice Foster.

He had dozens and dozens of enemies in that industry. The actual method of death will always be in doubt.

IMHO, this should be investigated as if foul play was the cause of death.

Hmmm “whistle blower” and “apparent suicide”. Hmmm. Can’t help but wonder...
