John McAfee death conspiracy throws up final mystery in wild life of tech renegade

“Know that if I hang myself, a la Epstein, it will be no fault of mine.”

Less than nine months after writing these words from inside a Spanish prison, John McAfee’s lifeless body was discovered inside his cell.

Shortly after his death, the Catalan justice department released a statement saying “everything indicates” that the 75-year-old had taken his own life. But his prophetic comment, together with a trail of online breadcrumbs left by the tech tycoon in the months and years leading up to 23 June, mean his death is no less cryptic or controversial than the life he lived.
