Washington [USA], May 2: Mr. Dean, 45 years old, was one of the first people to speak up about technical errors in the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft . The Seattle Times newspaper reported on May 1 that Mr. Dean died after an illness.
As a person with a healthy lifestyle, the former Spirit Aerosystems employee suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized for 2 weeks due to difficulty breathing. Later, he was diagnosed with pneumonia and a dangerous MRSA infection.
Despite the doctors' full treatment, the patient's condition quickly worsened, before he suffered a stroke, according to information posted by the mother on Facebook on April 26.
The Seattle Times quoted aunt Carol Parsons confirming that Mr. Dean passed away on the morning of April 30 (local time).
Both Mr. Dean and Mr. Barnett, 62, are represented by the same South Carolina law firm.
After Mr. Barnett died from a gunshot wound in Charleston (South Carolina) in early March, the medical examiner determined he committed suicide. However, police have not yet completed the investigation into his death.
Mr. Barnett, a veteran employee who worked for Boeing for 32 years, died while testifying in the Boeing lawsuit. Before his death, he provided testimony and was scheduled to participate in his next testimony.
