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.

    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).

      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.

          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.
