John McAfee, the creator of the antivirus software carrying his name, died in a Spanish prison cell last week, where he was awaiting extradition to the United States on tax evasion charges. McAfee’s lawyer, Javier Villalba, told Reuters last week that prison wardens found him hanging in his cell. As the outlet noted on Monday, the Spanish newspaper El País has now reported, citing sources familiar with the process, that an official autopsy ruled McAfee’s death a suicide. A spokesperson for the Catalonian court system overseeing the autopsy told Reuters that it didn’t have any information on the report.

Prior to his arrest McAfee had been on the run from U.S. authorities for years. He sold his famous firm in 1994, but the dramatic details of his life continued to accumulate up until his death. On Twitter in late 2019, he claimed that the U.S. government would kill him and cover it up as a suicide, also getting a tattoo that read “$WHACKD” to commemorate the hypothesis. In the days since his death, McAfee’s widow, Janice, has echoed elements of that theory, telling reporters on Friday, “His last words to me were, ‘I love you and I will call you in the evening.’” She also demanded a “thorough investigation” of his death.

McAfee’s death has caused enough conspiracy theorizing in the broader public that some news outlets had to clarify on Monday that there was no evidence he owned a unit in the Florida high-rise building that partially collapsed last week. A source told the Associated Press that McAfee had a suicide note on him when he was found. According to Villalba, Janice McAfee has requested a second, independent autopsy of her late husband.
