Lawyer: John McAfee Suffers 2 Heart Attacks — 1 Day After Being Arrested

Dec. 6, 2012 4:40pm Madeleine Morgenstern

n this photo released by Guatemala’s Human Rights Ombudsman’s office, software company founder John McAfee is pictured in an immigration detention center in Guatemala City, Thursday, Dec. 6, 2012. The anti-virus guru was arrested at a hotel in an upscale neighborhood with the help of Interpol agents, hours after he said he would seek asylum in the Central American country. Guatemalan authorities were awaiting orders from their Foreign Ministry about whether to send him back to Belize, where he is a person of interest in the killing of a fellow expatriate American.

Software company founder John McAfee suffered two heart attacks Thursday, just one day after being arrested in Guatemala, Reuters reported.

McAfee was carried out of the Guatemala City detention facility on a stretcher and rushed to the hospital. His lawyer said he had suffered two mild heart attacks.

ABC News reported McAfee was “prostrate on the floor of his cell and unresponsive” and had complained of chest pains earlier in the day.

McAfee was arrested by Guatemalan police Wednesday after entering the country illegally. He was denied political asylum earlier Thursday and had been expected to be deported back to Belize, where authorities want to question him about the shooting death of his neighbor.

G Whiz, your stupid. Get a map.
With all the government spying on emails and such, he probably knows how to block the government spying and needs to be stopped. Don’t know just a thought.

His virus “protection” allowed my pc to be infected by a known Trojan after a fake pop-up for a Flash update appears on my monitor screen.

McAfee had the Trojan in its list of know virus’ and allowed my pc to become infected without any deterrence or warning.

Spent hours on the phone with McAfee “experts”, who, spoke poor english at best, and were unable to remove the Trojan. They refund my $90 fee I paid,for the repair support after they were unable to help me.

Pretty sad when it lets a known Trojan infect me, and then they can’t even get the thing off my PC.

I hope he is found guilty. If not for the murder, than for making horrible virus protection.

WE ARE MISSING THE BEST PART OF THIS STORY… McAfee was arrested by Guatemalan police Wednesday after entering the country illegally. He was denied political asylum earlier Thursday and had been expected to be deported back to Belize, HELLO !!!! entered into a country illegally, arrested and DEPORTED. No let go, given as hearing and promise to come back for adjudication, and then disappear into the rest of the country for eternity…..Attention USA, this is how other countries treat their people that enter their country ILLEGALLY. Nuff said!!

this is creepy to me because McAfee moved to Belize to start a company developing bacterial quorum sensing. They were trying to produce commercial ALL NATURAL antibiotics based on anti-quorum sensing technology. In other words… compete with the pharmaceutical companies. You know them- the people that have had everyone diagnosed with some kind of “disorder” in the last 2 decades so that they can prescribe mood- enhancing, habit- forming drugs to 1/2 the US. The ones that have destroyed health care? Think they found this guy threatening?
