Widow seeks ‘thorough’ investigation into John McAfee death

SANT ESTEVE SESROVIRES, Spain (AP) — The widow of John McAfee, the British-American tycoon who died in a Spanish prison this week while awaiting extradition to the United States, on Friday demanded a “thorough investigation” of his death, saying her husband did not appear suicidal when they last spoke.

Authorities in Spain are conducting an autopsy on McAfee’s body but have said that everything at the scene in his cell indicated that the 75-year-old killed himself.

“His last words to me were ‘I love you and I will call you in the evening,’” Janice McAfee told reporters outside the Brians 2 penitentiary northwest of Barcelona where she recovered her late husband’s belongings. She said they spoke earlier on the day he was found dead.

“Those words are not words of somebody who is suicidal,” she added, demanding a “thorough investigation” in her first public remarks since the software entrepreneur’s death on Wednesday.

John McAfee was arrested at the Barcelona airport in October last year on a warrant issued by prosecutors in Tennessee who were seeking up to three decades of imprisonment for allegedly evading more than $4 million in taxes.

The day before he was found dead, Spain’s National Court had announced that it was agreeing to his extradition to the U.S. but the decision was not final.

McAfee was one bizarre character with paranoidal tendencies. How many American millionaires establish their tech fortune here, sell their companies and run off to Belize with it to open and run a whorehouse. Wish Zuckerberg and Soros would do the same.

Wasn’t MacCaffee a murderer? Any way, the wife probably knows everything he did. Why doesn’t she just spill what ever secrets he had?

I’m behind the times; I didn’t know that McAfee was dead.

I’ll say it now: McAfee did not kill himself.

His death is really being kept secret.

Making all this up:
Surveillance video camera system inexplicably failed.
New guards took over the shift “no one had ever seen before that night.”
Note’s handwriting for “don’t know how long I can go facing this despair” did not match anything else he wrote.
Mysterious visitors in suits met with top staff the day before.
Evidence chain was broken when cleaning crew accidentally totally cleaned the cell and hallways as the “do not clean” order never reached them. Authorities cannot recover evidence.
Some news story “Committed suicide” releases accidentally were dated the day before.

All this made up.

Apparently none of these “brilliant” people know how to set up a dead man’s switch.

In the fwiw department, we saw an interview with McAfee about five years ago.

He mentioned that he would never kill himself. Belize dateline IIRC.
