The article in question doesn't make this claim.

> As suspicious as his death was, no one in a position of power is calling for an investigation. And they’re not likely to. But I do know this: everything John Barnett said about Boeing’s problems was true. Everything. If the company had been willing to listen to him, 346 airline passengers would still be alive. And maybe Barnett would be too.

This article is about the cultural problem at Boeing, and only tangentially about John Barnett.
