A second Boeing whistleblower has died after a sudden illness, according to several media reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joshua Dean, a former quality auditor at Spirit AeroSystems, went public with claims that the company\u2019s leadership ignored manufacturing defects in Boeing\u2019s 737 MAX. Spirit AeroSystems is a Boeing supplier, The Seattle Times reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dean, 45, had an active lifestyle and was believed to be in good health prior to his \u201csudden\u201d death on Tuesday, following the onset of a sudden, fast-moving infection. He was stricken with Influenza B and MRSA, and developed pneumonia, according to Fox59.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He spent two weeks in critical condition before he died on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur thoughts are with Josh Dean\u2019s family. This sudden loss is stunning news here and for his loved ones,\u201d Spirit spokesperson Joe Buccino said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March, a former Boeing employee known for voicing concerns about the company\u2019s production standards was found dead in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Barnett had worked for the U.S. aircraft manufacturer for 32 years, until his retirement in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the days prior to his death, he had been testifying in a lawsuit against the company after reporting irregularities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
