Washington Post headline: "Whistleblower death compounds bad news for Boeing."
Ah, yes. "Poor Boeing!" is exactly what we all thought when we read the story of the whistleblower who 'committed suicide' right before his second round of testimony against Boeing. How unfortunate for them!
UPDATE: Whistleblower told family and friends that ‘if anything happens it’s not suicide.’

Yes, a death is nothing compared to the stock prices.
I don't know the details, though they're perhaps available. If he had exaggerated some of his whistle-blowing, and realized that his stretch was going to undermine all of it, he might have despaired.
Or it might be some unrelated personal problem. Or he might have been "helped."
He was reportedly in good spirits the day before.

Of course one never knows.
I've read that many whistleblowers have conflict with their spouses, who are less impressed with their pursuit of truth than they are angered by the disruption of their personal lives.
