The transcript of Mr Barnett’s deposition has now been released by his lawyers. The lengthy document runs to more than 140 pages.
Mr Barnett had worked for Boeing for more than 30 years before his retirement on health grounds in 2017. He subsequently filed a lawsuit against the company, claiming he had suffered retaliation from managers after raising a number of serious safety concerns, a charge the company denies.
The 62-year-old died last month after giving two days of testimony for his deposition against the firm.
Charleston Country Coroner’s Office said it had been caused by a “self-inflicted gunshot wound”.
