Is there evidence any of these deaths were the result of foul play?

So you’re willing to entertain a conspiracy theory for why the media would be fixated on Boeing, a storied company once one of the prides of American engineering that’s now fallen into transparent disrepair that’s led to airplanes, the things 2 million of us entrust our lives to every day, failing dramatically, but when a whistleblower commits suicide while testifying to congress about said company, that’s just a normal Saturday to you?
I don't think discussion will be productive if we're not capable of temporarily setting aside emotion.
I'll ask more plainly for them then - why is negative news about a company with high publicity safety failures more suspicious to you than the death of a whistleblower testifying against said company, especially since they evidently recently told a friend 'if I die it wasn't suicide'?
If you’re looking for a productive discussion, then your approach is the problem.

Demanding proof, while handwaving away calls for evidence for your own position rightly results in an incredulous reaction.
