It seems unlikely though. He was found in the hotel car park in a locked car with the keyfob in his pocket, a suicide note and a gun he was shot in the head with. He also had a history of mental illness. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13431401/boeing-whi...

I agree its unlikely, but none of that makes murder less likely / more difficult. Two easy ways to do that: either shoot him and then lock him in the car, or coerce him into suicide via blackmail (threaten to kill his family, threaten to plant child pornography on his property)

The first one isn't easy - drag the body to the car in daylight in the hotel car park? How are you going to lock it with the fob inside? If I was a hitman I'd do something else.

The second - if you assume it's on behalf of Boeing could easily backfire if he went to the press with the threats.

I’m not arguing one way or another, but why is it hard to lock someone in the car with the fob inside? The fob isn’t the only way to lock a car…you would just press the lock button inside the door, but him inside, then shut the door.

I have a normal 2016 car which can do this no problem— maybe it’s impossible with other cars but that would seem very odd to me.

Also, if the litmus for corporate murder is "possible", then that includes essentially any death.

90 year old expiring from cancer? That's what they want you to think!

In fact, we'll never know. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence... or at least, some.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, but neither is it proof.

You don't drag the body, you shoot him while he is in his car. Then you lock the doors, shut them, and leave.
