The first Boeing whistleblower to “off himself” allegedly told his family shortly before he died that if anything happened to him, “it’s not suicide.”

But I may have missed any further developments to actually verify that his family had been told something similar.
Between that and the 30 some whistleblowers in the last 5 years that two died close to one another isn't all that damning.

You have not, his family thinks he killed himself, but blames Boeing for making his life awful for several years.
As a paramedic, I'd take this with a grain of salt: I have been on calls for a non-trivial number of patients who've sworn black and blue that they're "no longer suicidal", "no longer a threat", "if anything happens to me, it wasn't suicide" who, you guessed it, went on to attempt or commit suicide in very short order.
