John McAfee, the founder of antivirus company McAfee, has been found dead in a Spanish prison, reports say.
He reportedly died by suicide on Wednesday afternoon in a prison cell, just hours after a decision by the Spanish High Court authorizing his extradition to the United States on charges of tax evasion.
Jail employees tried to revive the 75-year-old Mr McAfee but were unsuccessful, according to a statement from the Spanish Justice Department cited by Spanish newspaper El Mundo.

Sad, followed his story for a long time. Went very crazy for a while, then the whole neighbour murder thing. Spent most of the last few years fighting extradition to the US, and now that it was approved yesterday…

I wonder if the security cameras outside his cell would have coincidentally been turned off
