    They don’t need to do that, they could have just called him on a burner phone and threatened to kill his family if he didn’t kill himself. Forensically indistinguishable from suicide, but absolutely murder by coercion.

      Didn’t have to have been Boeing. Must be plenty of investors.

      Fucking disgusting we’ll never know*, RIP heroic whistleblower who lost everything.

      (*I acknowledge there’s a non-zero chance it was suicide)

      Has it ever happened to check the previous call logs of a suicide victim? Of course Boeing can bribe the telcom to keep shut / delete the info. But i’m curious wether it’s ever been done.

        Michelle Carter was convicted of manslaughter for encouraging her boyfriend to commit suicide by text

        Of course it’s been done.
