what happened to john mcafee

John McAfee, a British-American businessman and software pioneer, died on June 23, 2021, at the age of 75 in a Spanish prison. He died by hanging, and his death was ruled a suicide. McAfee was facing extradition to the United States on tax evasion charges. He had been arrested in Spain in October 2020 over U.S. tax evasion charges, and U.S. federal prosecutors had brought criminal and civil charges alleging that McAfee had failed to file income taxes over a four-year period. His death ignited speculation and conspiracy theories about the possibility that he was murdered, but there is no evidence to support these claims.
