A close family friend of John Barnett said he predicted he might wind up dead and that a story could surface that he killed himself.

    He already published his information and was in the process of repeating it in front of a court.
    His death prevented him from giving his information as sworn testimony which a dead man switch could not do.

      I believe that’s not actually true at all. It can and has been used as sworn testimony.

      The thing is, there’s a difference between thinking a company will kill you, and THINKING a company will kill you.
