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.
