He was 45, had been in good health and was noted for having a healthy lifestyle.
Looks like Boeing is just taking a page right out of Russians books and doing obvious murders in the open now.

He died from a MRSA infection, which can and does kill people at any stage of life. That shit is everywhere, but whether you get sick or not is kinda a crap shoot.
MRSA is not that common. Most people get it from contact in medical facilities, but some people (very few) do carry it around.
When someone contracts it and becomes seriously ill, it usually means they weren't a carrier to begin with, or had an immunodeficiency that allowed the pathogen to overtake an equilibrium with their immune system. They do hardcore contact tracing if someone actually dies from it, and if nobody around this guy had it...quite suspicious. That's all I'm saying.
He was sick in hospital with pneumonia, before he got MRSA though. In hospitals there's a higher chance to catch MRSA, especially if someone is already weakened by a severe lung infection.
Absolutely, my toddler had MRSA within a few days after he was born and its most likely due to some contamination or something to the effect.
Hospitals are a severe breeding grounds for resistant bacterial strains via sewage.
It's less of a crap shoot when it's intentionally used as a weapon.

I’d like one example where MRSA has been used for bioterrorism. Never heard of it when I was a medical lab tech in the military, nor as a medical lab scientist later in my life. Bioterrorism is extremely rare, and MRSA is a poor choice for a biological weapon.
E. coli O157:H7 would be a better choice, or Vibrio, or really any of the enteric pathogens introduced to food or water supplies.
Well, the 1984 bioterror attack associated with the Rajneeshee was done with salmonella. The question this raises is if there are any advantages to cultivating it as an assassin's weapon.
I'm not saying I know it is, only that the two associated deaths make for a pretty amazing coincidence.

They seem to have taken a page from Death Note
I wonder if Boeing uses Novichok as well.

Something something 3 times is a pattern
Would you trust your baby alone in the woods with a random man or a Boeing exec?
Boeing exec. Baby has no insider knowledge. Should be safe.
Once is happenstance, twice is a coincidence, three times is enemy action
🤔🤔🤔
This surely happened in Russia... oh, wait...
Boeing not really going out of their way to not make it look obvious, are they?
Hey guys, unless I missed Boeing getting into biological warfare, I'm pretty sure an infection had nothing to do with them. It's funny to circlejerk though, I know.
you can point and laugh all you want but the real meat of this story is that trust in our institutions is this low.

Is there a bear option?
Sorry. Bears have mysteriously shot themselves in the head.
Execs have the most psychopats and narcicists, so the chances of them abandoning the kid are high.
They wouldn't abandon a child.
They would use the child as much as possible to save themselves. Noisemaker for a search party, small hands to reach into tight spaces, easy bear escape mechanism, etc.
A bear. I choose a bear.

Isn't that exactly what Repubicans did with the election?
-Make a bunch of baseless claims of fraud
-"Look guys we need to do something, trust in the election process is low!"
Well yeah -- The loss of decorum in the ruling class/aristocracy started rolling down the hill with Newt. Once you get a Caeser it's just a matter of time before your Nero shows up.

What a dumb strawman, you're guessing just like everyone else! Absolutely no one's saying they manufacture bioweapons. But one of the biggest companies ever, with almost 80 billion in revenue each year definitely has access to shady methods, even if they wouldn't put it on itemized expenses reports.
1 whistleblower dying before they can testify is a huge coincidence, 2 is an extraordinary one.
Yeah... Customs and Border Patrol wrote this article using MRSA as an example of a biological/terror threat.

Boing is starting to have a bigger mysterious trail of bodies around them than Hilary Clinton.
“The Congressional Record (1994) stated that the compiler of the original list, Linda Thompson, admitted she had "'no direct evidence' of Clinton killing anyone. Indeed, she says the deaths were probably caused by 'people trying to control the president' but refuses to say who they were."
“Several sources have discredited the conspiracy theory, such as the Congressional Record,[4] the Lakeland Ledger, the Chicago Tribune, Snopes and others, pointing to detailed death records, the unusually large circle of associates that a president is likely to have, and the fact that many of the people listed had been misidentified or were still alive. Others had no known link to the Clintons.“

Can we let Vince Foster rest you fucking ghouls.
It's really competitive of them trying to knock Putin off of the top of the charts.
