The body of John McAfee lies in the Spanish morgue a year and a half after his death

John McAfee’s body was found dead in June 2021 and remains in a morgue in Spain, the country where he was arrested at the request of the US on charges of tax evasion following cryptocurrency profits.

To begin with, his death aroused several suspicions. After all, McAfee himself tattooed his arm in previous years, warning that he would be “committed suicide” by the US government.

“I get subtle messages from US officials saying, ‘We’re coming after you, McAfee! We’re going to kill you.” I got a tattoo today, just in case. If I killed myself, I wouldn’t. I was crazy. Check my right arm.

Getting subtle messages from US officials basically saying “We’re coming for you McAfee! We’re going to kill ourselves”. I got a tattoo done today just in case. If I killed myself, I wouldn’t. I was beaten. Check my right arm.$WACKD only available at https://t.co/HdSEYi9krq🙂 pic.twitter.com/rJ0Vi2Hpjj

Therefore, in addition to a controversial life ranging from the creation of one of the most famous antivirus to allegations that he killed his neighbor in Belize, McAfee’s death is another important chapter in his story.

After a year and a half, John McAfee’s body remains in the Spanish morgue

As reported by live coins As of February 2022, John McAfee’s body is still trapped in a Spanish morgue, seven months after his death. A family lawyer said the delay in releasing the body was linked to the growing number of deaths from Covid-19 on that date.

Another hypothesis put forward at the time would be related to Spain’s own legal system, which would be interested in conducting a more detailed investigation to assess the cause of the magnate’s death.

A year has passed since then. In total, the body of John McAfee has been in this Spanish morgue for 19 months, that is, more than a year and a half.

In a conversation with the newspaper El País, which appeared earlier this month, Janice McAfee gave more details about the situation. According to John’s ex-wife, she won’t leave without him.

“I’m fine with considering [tudo]. I’m tired”said Janice McAfee, who has been in Spain since John’s death. “I am ready to end this and I have a response from the courts. An appeal had been lodged with the Barcelona courts after they attempted to stop the investigation without releasing John’s autopsy report. It is my right to know exactly what happened.”

When asked about the delay in the autopsy and whether she really believes that John killed himself, Janice says that is precisely why she wants to receive the result of the analysis and that she would have made different decisions if she had known about the waiting period.

“I understand [que a autópsia diz que ele se suicidou]. And that’s why I’m asking for the autopsy report, so I know [para serem feitos mais exames forenses]. If I get that information, there won’t be a need for a second autopsy.”

Finally, Janice also responded to a question about John McAfee’s finances and said she had it “sure he had cryptocurrencies”but with no idea how many or where they would be stored. “But his finances were just that, his finances”he explained.

“Obviously his later stage of life started to overshadow him. People forget how brilliant he was and how genius he was and how he could reinvent himself over and over again.”Janice concluded. History will favor him. He was a very polarizing figure, either you hated him or you loved him.”

Another friend of McAfee believes he is alive

While Janice McAfee remains in Spain awaiting the release of John McAfee’s body after more than a year and a half, another of John’s friends believes the tycoon faked his own death.

In a documentary about McAfee’s life, Sam Herrara claims to have received a phone call from her ex-boyfriend after his death, believing him to be alive.

“I don’t know if I should talk. But two weeks ago, after he died, I got a call from Texas. ‘It’s me, John. I paid people to pretend I was dead, but I didn’t. There are only three people in the world who know I’m alive.” And then he asked me to run away with him.”said Sam Herrara in the documentary.

As can be seen, John McAfee’s death remains as controversial as his own life, surrounded by all sorts of theories.

The deaths of cryptocurrency tycoons are drawing the attention of the community

In addition to John McAfee in 2021, other deaths of industry billionaires have come to the attention of the community in recent months. In short, not everyone believes that the causes of death were natural causes.

The first example is Tiantian Kullander, founder of Amber Group. In November last year, Kullander died in his sleep. The cryptocurrency entrepreneur was only 30 years old and, according to the community, was concerned about the US government’s intelligence agency, the CIA.

Days earlier, also in November 2022, Nicolai Arcadie Muchgian was found dead on a beach in Puerto Rico. In addition to accusing the CIA of sex trafficking, the MakerDAO co-founder had said he would be “suicide by the CIA,” a message very similar to John McAfee’s.

The third case, also in November 2022, is the death of Vyacheslav Taran. At the age of 53, 25 of them in the financial market, Taran was caught in a helicopter crash one sunny day. According to sources, a second passenger canceled his boarding at the last minute, fueling theories of sabotage.

Finally, the cases follow. For example, the death of Gerald Cotten, owner of the QuadrigaCX brokerage, was turned into a Netflix movie because his former clients believe the businessman is alive and his death was just staged.

More recently, Park Mo, Bithumb’s largest shareholder, was also found dead in front of his home. The police suspect that the director committed suicide.
