John McAfee Found Dead In Spanish Jail Cell
posted (June 23, 2021)
Tonight famous or infamous Anti-Virus Creator and international fugitive John Macafee has been found dead in his jail cell near Barcelona. This happened hours after a Spanish court approved his extradition to the United States to face tax charges. Right now his death is being labeled an apparent suicide.

McAfee, who was 75 years old, was arrested last October in Spain following a US warrant for his arrest for Tax evasion.

He was wanted for questioning in Belize in connection with the November 2012 murder of his neighbor on Ambergris Caye, Gregory Faull.

After that murder, McAfee fled Belize during a desperate police manhunt.

Reports of Macafee's Suicide are curious in light of a statement he made during that great escape - about wanting to avoid Belize's prisons - because people often hang themselves there.

Notable is that Mcafee's father also took his own life when his son was 15.
