has closed a probe into the death of software mogul John McAfee at a prison near Barcelona in 2021, ruling he committed suicide, court documents showed Friday.
The 75-year-old founder of the popular anti-virus McAfee was found dead in his cell back in June 23, 2021. Just hours earlier, a Spanish court had authorised his extradition to the United States on tax evasion charges. Although an autopsy determined he had died by suicide, his widow demanded further checks and another autopsy, arguing that McAfee was not suicidal.
But in a ruling dated July 24 that was made public on Friday, the court investigating McAfee's death said there are"no indications of anything other than a violent death of suicidal origin, nothing at all".
