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.

    Claiming the second can harm the credibility of the first. You better be sure.

        The dude died in the hospital because a MRSA infection, so I’ll take your bet, as much as you’re willing to put up.

          When you hire a more expensive assassin, they don’t just fake a suicide. They make it look natural.

            There are better bioweapon options than MRSA, even for something like this. Sometimes shit just happens.
