Boeing whistleblower dies following a brief illness, weeks after the suicide of another

Former Boeing supplier, Joshua Dean, who accused Spirit AeroSystems of production defects for the 737 MAX, dies from sudden illness as reported by his family.
Dean had raised concerns about quality standards at a Boeing plant in Kansas in 2022, per a lawsuit, and his death followed contracting pneumonia and suffering a stroke after an infection.
Dean's death is likely to reignite scrutiny on Boeing due to previous safety issues with the 737 MAX, including an incident in January where an emergency exit door detached mid-flight.
