John McAfee found dead in Spanish prison after court OKs extradition

John McAfee has been found dead in a Spanish prison hours after a court approved his extradition to the US.

Security personnel at the Brians 2 penitentiary near the northeastern Spanish city tried to revive McAfee, who was 75, but the jail's medical team finally certified his death, a statement from the regional Catalan government said. The statement didn't identify the tycoon by name, but said he was a 75-year-old American citizen awaiting extradition to the U.S. A Catalan government source familiar with the incident who was not authorized to be named in media reports confirmed to the AP that the dead man is McAfee.
