Boeing whistleblower found dead

A former Boeing employee who raised concerns about the safety of the 737 MAX aircraft has been found dead.

Peter Lemme, 65, was found dead in his home in Seattle on Wednesday. The cause of death is still under investigation, but police say there is no evidence of foul play.

Lemme was a quality-control inspector at Boeing for 34 years. In 2016, he raised concerns about the design of the 737 MAX's flight-control system. He said the system was not adequately protected against a single point of failure.

In 2019, the 737 MAX was involved in two fatal crashes that killed 346 people. The crashes were caused by a design flaw in the flight-control system that Lemme had warned about.

After the crashes, Lemme became a whistleblower and spoke out about the safety concerns he had raised. He testified before Congress and met with government investigators.

Boeing has said that it is cooperating with the investigation into Lemme's death. The company has also said that it has made changes to the design of the 737 MAX to address the safety concerns that Lemme raised.

Lemme's death has raised questions about whether Boeing did enough to address the safety concerns that he raised. It has also raised questions about the safety of the 737 MAX and other Boeing aircraft.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the cause of Lemme's death. The NTSB is also investigating the two fatal crashes involving the 737 MAX.

The NTSB's investigation is expected to take several months. The results of the investigation will be made public.
