Boeing whistleblower John Barnett’s tragic suicide note becomes a key piece of evidence in new lawsuit

Quick Summary:

The complaint spotlights Barnett's final thoughts as he contemplated taking his own life after locking himself inside his pickup truck overnight.

Videos cited in the police report show Barnett leaving the hotel around 8:30 PM, and getting in his Clemson orange, Dodge truck.

Turkewitz added a detail not in the police accounts: Barnett had been running the engine all-night, and by the time the police arrived, the gas tank was empty; it's also likely that the battery was dead.
