The mother and brother of John Barnett, the Boeing whistleblower who was found dead in his truck earlier this month, spoke with CBS News this week about his untimely death.

The family of Boeing whistleblower John Barnett spoke about the mysterious death of their relative in an interview this week. Barnett, who was found dead in a parked car earlier this month after blowing the whistle on widespread safety violations at Boeing, previously claimed he had been "harassed, denigrated, humiliated" for raising concerns about quality control issues.

If this hadn't gone on so long, I'd still have my son, and my sons would have their brother, and we wouldn't be sitting here. So, in that respect, I do," said Stokes. The Charleston County Coroner's Office told Fox News Digital that John Barnett, 62, died from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Saturday, March 9.
