While I can't see "Boeing" (as a whole command structure) can be blamed for his death I do see the possibility of some corrupt person in a high position fearing what he had on him personally and ordered a strike against him.

That is almost every small business owner.
That is most people with a house in large cities.
I need to save up $350,000k for my kid's college before he heads off to keep him from having any loans, that means people with two kids who fully fund college for their kids will have $700k in assets just in college savings[1].
Saving for retirement takes 3-4 million.
1 million was a lot of money back when I was a kid in the 90s, now not so much.
[1] College prices are truly obscene.
It seems like that's said very often before whistleblower or journalist deaths subsequently ruled a suicide.
They don’t even know the details of the weapon, but in the minute of it being published, they claimed to know it was “self-inflicted”.
Wouldn’t the time to have killed him be before he testified?

"Don't you think we should ask for maybe more than a million dollars"
Oh so in Russia its jumping out a window and in the USA its some random method of suicide? Why not be specific, and consistent, like Russia?
It doesn’t seem surprising to me that there would be an affinity towards a particular method within entities.
This happens way too often, and I'm genuinely curious why. The easy answer is that paranoid people with a vendetta say exactly this to throw guilt onto the other party. The hard answer is harder to swallow. What can we do about it?
1. What some other recent occurrences?
2. What's the baseline rate of suicides we should expect for people in high stress positions, like being a whistleblower? How many people could plausibly be categorized as "whistleblowers"?
