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.

    Ok let’s talk about facts. Two whistleblowers died in the same lawsuit died in a very close period of time. Now, deal with that fact.

      Coincidences happen sometimes, believe it or not.

        I see so when you meant talking about facts you mean dismissing them when they run contra to your narrative. Why didn’t you just start by saying that? Save us both some time.
