Joshua Dean is the second Boeing whistleblower to die this year A whistleblower who accused Boeing of ignoring safety flaws in the 737 MAX airplanes has died. Joshua Dean, a former Spirit AeroSystems quality auditor, claimed he was fired for flagging concerns about lax standards at the company’s manufacturing plant in Wichita, Kansas. His sudden death at the age of 45 on Tuesday came after suffering from a fast-spreading infection, according to his family and lawyer.
In a complaint filed with the Federal Aviation Administration, Dean accused Spirit of ‘serious and gross’ quality failings at its production facility. He claimed his concerns about a serious manufacturing defect had been ignored. Dean later testified in a shareholder lawsuit against the company. He believed he was fired from Spirit in April 2023 to discourage others from speaking out about concerns.
