The official autopsy on the body of John McAfee showed that he died by suicide in the Spanish prison cell as he awaited extradition to the United States, according to a report from the El Pais newspaper on Monday, June 28.

A spokesperson for Catalonia’s court system, which is in charge of the autopsy, did not have any more information to report.

According to El Pais, prison wardens found the body of software mogul McAfee hanging in his cell on Wednesday, June 23, in what appeared to be a suicide, said his lawyer Javier Villalbalast last week. He also said that on Friday, McAfee’s widow Janice asked him to request a second, independent autopsy once the results of the first had been released.
