The official autopsy on the body of John McAfee showed he committed suicide in the Spanish prison cell where he was awaiting extradition to the US, El Pais newspaper said on Monday, June 28, citing unidentified sources close to the proceedings.

His lawyer Javier Villalba said on Friday that McAfee’s widow Janice had asked him to request a second, independent autopsy once the results of the first were released. – Rappler.com
