[Anti-virus software entrepreneur John McAfee
has been found dead in a Barcelona prison
cell hours after a Spanish court agreed
to extradite him to the US to face tax evasion charges.
The Catalan Justice Department said
prison medics tried to resuscitate him,
but were not successful.
It said in a statement that
"everything indicates" McAfee took his own life.
A controversial figure in the tech world, his company released the first commercial anti-virus software.
McAfee VirusScan helped to spark a
multi-billion dollar industry in the computer world,
and was eventually sold to technology
giant Intel for more than $7.6bn (£4.7bn).
In October 2020, John McAfee was arrested
in Spain when he was about to board
a plane to Turkey, and accused of failing
to file tax returns for four years,
despite earning millions from consulting work,
speaking engagements, crypto-currencies
and selling the rights to his life story.
The US Justice Department alleged that
McAfee evaded tax liability by having his
income paid into bank accounts and cryptocurrency
exchange accounts in the names of nominees.]
