Does a video give proof that John McAfee is alive?
John McAfee died in a Spanish prison on June 23, 2021, according to authorities, and an autopsy confirmed he died by suicide in his prison cell in Barcelona.
There is no publicly available evidence to contradict the Spanish authorities' autopsy or to prove that McAfee is still alive, and a video on social media making that claim offers no proof. It is simply one person talking in a monologue embellished with ominous music and a stock photo image of McAfee from 2019.
The prison in Barcelona where McAfee died released a statement about his death, and his attorney confirmed he appeared to have hanged himself in the prison, according to Reuters.
The video continues with a claim that McAfee, who created antivirus computer software, had electronic information -- "every terabyte from Clinton to the Pentagon" -- but again the video provides no proof.
