Today the world has just received another bad news, especially the technology sector, as John McAfee , creator of the antivirus with his last name, was found dead this Wednesday (June 23, 2021) in a cell in Barcelona, ​​Spain, where he was stuck.

The first to announce the death were the Spanish newspapers. Then the Department of Justice of Catalonia confirmed the information, according to the agency Reuters . The businessman was involved in several controversies in his last years of life, and was pre-emptively arrested by the Spanish authorities.

According to information circulated, 75-year-old John McAfee committed suicide on Wednesday afternoon in a prison cell, just hours after a Spanish Supreme Court decision authorizing his extradition to the United States under charge of tax evasion. The sector lost a great man, but his legacy and contributions in the technology sector certainly remained.
