西雅图时报：波音供应商的举报人 Josh Dean 去世

报道原文： Joshua Dean, a former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems and one of the first whistleblowers to allege Spirit leadership had ignored manufacturing defects on the 737 MAX, died Tuesday morning after a struggle with a sudden, fast-spreading infection. Known as Josh, Dean lived in Wichita, Kan., where Spirit is based. He was 45, had been in good health and was noted for having a healthy lifestyle. He died after two weeks in critical condition, his aunt Carol Parsons said. Spirit spokesperson Joe Buccino said: “Our thoughts are with Josh Dean’s family. This sudden loss is stunning news here and for his loved ones.” Dean had given a deposition in a Spirit shareholder lawsuit and also filed a complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration alleging “serious and gross misconduct by senior quality management of the 737 production line” at Spirit. Spirit fired Dean in April 2023, and he had filed a complaint with the Department of Labor alleging his termination was in retaliation for raising concerns related to aviation safety. Parsons said Dean became ill and went to the hospital because he was having trouble breathing just over two weeks ago. He was intubated and developed pneumonia and then a serious bacterial infection, MRSA. His condition deteriorated rapidly, and he was airlifted from Wichita to a hospital in Oklahoma City, Parsons said. There he was put on an ECMO machine, which circulates and oxygenates a patient’s blood outside the body, taking over heart and lung function when a patient’s organs don’t work on their own. His mother posted a message Friday on Facebook relating all those details and saying that Dean was “fighting for his life.” 机翻： 报道原文： 波音供应商 Spirit AeroSystems 的前质量审核员约书亚·迪恩 (Joshua Dean) 是最早指控 Spirit 领导层忽视 737 MAX 制造缺陷的举报人之一，他在与突然、快速传播的感染作斗争后于周二上午去世。 迪恩（Dean）被称为乔什（Josh），住在精神航空总部所在的堪萨斯州威奇托市。 他今年 45 岁，身体健康，并以健康的生活方式而闻名。 他的姨妈卡罗尔·帕森斯说，他在情况危急两周后去世。 Spirit 发言人乔·布奇诺 (Joe Buccino) 表示：“我们与乔什·迪恩的家人同在。 对于这里和他的亲人来说，突然的去世是一个令人震惊的消息。” Dean 曾在 Spirit 股东诉讼中作了证词，并向美国联邦航空管理局提出申诉，指控 Spirit “737 生产线的高级质量管理人员存在严重且严重的不当行为”。 Spirit 于 2023 年 4 月解雇了迪恩，他向劳工部提出投诉，称解雇迪恩是为了报复他提出与航空安全相关的担忧。 帕森斯说，迪恩在两周前因呼吸困难而生病并被送往医院。 他接受插管后患上了肺炎，然后又感染了严重的细菌感染，即耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）。 帕森斯说，他的病情迅速恶化，他被从威奇托空运到俄克拉荷马城的一家医院。 在那里，他被安置在一台 ECMO 机器上，该机器可以在体外循环患者的血液并给其充氧，当患者的器官无法自行工作时，它可以接管心肺功能。 他的母亲周五在 Facebook 上发布了一条消息，讲述了所有这些细节，并表示迪恩正在“为自己的生命而战”。 注意这个不是之前那个“自杀”的举报人John Barnett，是另一个波音举报人，这次不是“自杀”了，是突然感染然后去世的，不过他才45岁，比另一个举报人年轻很多，然后西雅图时报还特地强调了下他原来身体健康，不知道是不是在暗示什么。
