Whistleblower Josh Dean of Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems has died
Joshua Dean, one of the first whistleblowers to allege Spirit AeroSystems execs had ignored manufacturing defects on the 737 MAX, died after a sudden illness.
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.
All these accidental coincidence deaths starting to remind me of a certain Eurasia country
...but with no windows involved.
At least these people dont shoot themselves twice in the back of the head and then fall out a window.
And then shoot themselves twice in the back of the head again, bc sometimes a statement just needs to be made.
Wait… is this an older death… or is it another Boeing whistleblower?
Dean became ill and went to the hospital because he was having trouble breathing just over two weeks ago. He was intubated and developed pneumonia and then a serious bacterial infection, MRSA.
Hmm, there's nothing more specific on the "having trouble breathing"... possibly suspicious, but also possibly an allergic reaction... for all we know he was stung by a bee or something.
MRSA is unfortunately not suspicious at all, it is far too commonly acquired in hospitals.
MRSA is also a leading cause of hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia. Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), or nosocomial pneumonia, is characterized as pneumonia developing 48 hours or more after hospital admission, indicating that it was not incubating at the time of admission. Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is defined as pneumonia developing 48 hours or more after implementation of endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation and was not present before intubation. The microbiological etiology of these two conditions is similar and carries grave prognosis associated with poor overall outcomes.

In the larger context of the Boeing incidents, this death seems suspicious. But the circumstances of this death aren't very suspicious otherwise, this could easily have been a minor issue that became fatal due to a hospital-acquired staph infection. It's probably a bad idea to jump to conclusions.
90% odds on first whistleblower death being murder
10% odds on this death being murder
10% odds on this death being murder
The odds of a a 45 year old man dying in the US within a one year period of time is 0.134% based on the 2017 US Social Security actuarial tables. Given that he died within the 75 days of the other murdered whistleblower the odds are of that being natural are
P(75 days) = 1 - (1 - 0.00134) ^ (75/365.25)
Which equals 0.0275% or 1 in 3630.
I have shown you my homework, please show me yours.
Hmm, there’s nothing more specific on the “having trouble breathing”
Because it was almost certainly COVID but they didn't test for it, or didn't release it as a cause of death.
Yeah, I wasn't going to bring up COVID because I can only handle so many conspiracy nuts at a time, but this does seem like a possibility. There doesn't seem to be recent data.
The pneumonia and infection could have made COVID testing impossible or just low priority compared to the life-threatening issues, so we probably won't get a definite answer on that.
Unfortunately getting pneumonia and it going septic is not an uncommon occurrence. Once you are septic if you don't get the right antibiotics in you quickly you'll go into septic shock which has a 40% mortality rate.
The only conspiracy theory I can bring to the table is that MRSA is probably easy to weaponize. A nurse or visitor could have easily deployed a dirty tactic such as just visiting a patient with MRSA at another hospital and then coming to this hospital to visit the victim. Just touching infected areas of one patient and then touching vulnerable areas on the victim is enough.
This is why you don't want to end up in a hospice where there's a history of MRSA. You will eventually get it.
Someone with a lot of money probably did something extremely heinous... that, or a PR team just landed the absolute worst coincidence.
Yep. That settles it, we are definitely in a fucked up gilded age.
Yup that's what I've been calling it the Shitty Gilded Age 2
Electricai boogaloo?
I wish so bad I could get gold stars or bonus points for having been talking about gilded age II as soon as I learned what gilded age I was. Unfortunately, all I've gotten so far is inflation
Assuming you meant gilded age?
Thank you, fixed.
Autocorrect sometimes doesn’t help like it should.
Uh-oh. This is bad news for Boeing. They better offer a stock buyback just in case.
A local politician in my area died recently of an unknown infection. No one will say anything more about it. I realize the Boeing whistleblower was probably a hit. But are we not concerned in general about deadly infections escaping and starting the next pandemic, as if using them for hit jobs weren't bad enough?
Certain pathogens can be very deadly but not very easily spread. Perfect for hits.
That must be a coincidence!
with a sudden, fast-spreading infection.
Does this infection have a name?
Think I read MRSA in another article
Murdered. Josh Dean was murdered.
Wait wait was this the guy who was transferred to a different project as ‘punishment’ by Boeing or someone else?
This is a new one who died from a sudden and severe MSRA infection…
Both were being represented by the same law firm in the same case against Boeing and Spirit (Boeings contractor for parts and assembly).
Ahh okay cool different guy 👍👍
Also probably not bumped off by the big B but then again who knows at this point lol
Interesting aside, as I understand it, Spirit Aerosystem is the company that was ultimately contracted to repair the emergency exit door plug issue and failed to properly re-install the securing bolts when they were done.
Strange unexplained fatal illness, to otherwise healthy guy, outta nowhere right after the deposition.
Goddamn, Boeing. Thats some CIA shit
I thought this was the 5th this year and not the second
When it comes to dealing with those opposing any facets of the MIC, the US is already a fascist state. Your freedoms do not extend to any part of the MIC, they exist above you and your needs
Imagine talking about the US being a fascist state because a guy died in a hospital from MRSA... and then probably still believing that you're right. What a way to live.
Remember folks, extreme views (of every stripe) harm the discussion and impede progress and are generally wrong because they ignore facts in order to support the narrative (they bend reality to fit their story, rather than bend their story to fit reality).
