Perhaps the cause of death was a cardiac arrest after reading feedback from end users.
On a serious note, RIP.

They are completely separate entities and in no way involved with each other. McAfee regularly swore on their names to this end. Also, he promised he was content in jail, that's why his death is suspicious to most.

"I am content in here. I have friends. The food is good. All is well. Know that if I hang myself, a la Epstein, it will be no fault of mine."

"Getting subtle messages from U.S. officials saying, in effect: "We're coming for you McAfee! We're going to kill yourself". I got a tattoo today just in case. If I suicide myself, I didn't. I was whackd. Check my right arm."
His Instagram has a new image depicting a very large "Q". Possibly a Dead Man's Switch. He did warn of a trove of data to be released upon his death or disappearance. - Read More
It's a rabbit hole, for sure. Hopefully the hypothetical trove gets released. I can also see him saying all this just to piss on the USG, regardless of if it actually exists.

This is so sad. R.I.P to him

I did hear something about this specific tweet, but I never looked into it. But to be honest, I don't know who would have anything against McAfee that would be cause for murder.

People wanting him dead is a very real possibility. No doubt he's made questionable decisions and dealt with some bizarre types. He originally sold his shares for the anti-virus in 1994, for $100 million. At the time of his death he was only worth about $4 million. Even the most expensive cocaine habit wouldn't put a dent in that amount of money. It's also possible he said that stuff just to spite the USG, if he ever did decide to fold his cards.

From an external standpoint, Mr McAfee may seem like he was one of the most sweetest and caring Individuals. However his personal affairs, may have released some nasty skeletons In his closet that ultimately led to his demise/death.

Is it weird I could equally see him saying that shit while already planning to commit suicide as a final "fuck you".
Then again, I'm not sure I believe that's actually what's happened. It all seems very strange to me.
