John McAfee’s Body Is Still in a Spanish Morgue a Year After He Passed, His Widow Wants Answers A year ago on June 23, the anti-virus software tycoon John McAfee was found dead in a Spanish prison after Spain’s high court approved McAfee’s extradition to the United States. Today, McAfee’s body is still in a Spanish morgue as a legal case involving an independent autopsy is yet unresolved. John McAfee’s Controversial Death Investigation Is Still in LimboThe now-deceased cryptocurrency proponent and anti-virus software tycoon John McAfee’s corpse is still in the morgue after an entire year has passed since his alleged suicide. McAfee reportedly took his own life on June 23, 2021, after he was wanted for tax evasion by U.S. law enforcement officials. At the time, a Spanish high court authorized McAfee’s extradition to America to face the tax-related criminal charges.Before Spain’s high court approved the preliminary extradition ruling, McAfee was arrested in October 2020 at Barcelona–El Prat Airport. McAfee was charged by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). He was charged by SEC for his involvement in promoting initial coin offerings (ICOs) and the DOJ charged him with “tax evasion and willful failure to file tax returns.”After his death a number of conspiracy theories started showing up on social media and forums that said he allegedly activated a dead man’s switch. McAfee told people on many occasions that he would never take his own life and that if he was found dead by suicide it really meant he was “whacked.” McAfee had the word “whackd” tattooed to his body and he also released an ERC20-based token called “whackd (WHACKD).” The smart contract was called “Epstein,” and a number of theories stemming from several Q Anon members and 4chan posts attempted to connect the dots.
