However, because of the widespread press coverage of the previous "suicide", it makes sense that if additional whistleblowers were being killed, that the methods would grow increasingly complex and obfuscated.

This only matters if 1) you don't want anyone to know it was you, or 2) you want people to know it was you to send a message, and you're not afraid of any repercussions.

If you're Boeing, or even just a rogue Boeing executive/team, the best way to make sure you fail at this would be to leave an obvious trail of bodies.

These ambiguous deaths are plausibly unrelated enough to justify no one looking too closely, but are clear enough for their intended audience.

Hell, even if Boeing just got insanely "lucky" and these two deaths are as they appear, it's still going to have a massive chilling effect on anyone else who might have been considering coming forward.
