As cynical as it might seem, there is an alternative possibility: in spite of getting a tattoo saying he would not kill himself, and in spite of posting a tweet saying he would not kill himself, he went ahead and killed himself.
The better questions are, did he deserve to be imprisoned and did he deserve to die?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
There was a ruling today approving his extradition to the US. US officials were about to get him and he was facing extremely serious charges. That's a really important bit of context to keep in mind before jumping to ideas that some shadowy "they" had him killed.
Though it is also highly notable that he publicly posted "I'm not going to kill myself, and if I do then I was probably assassinated" before his death.

Everyone seems to forget that he likely had his neighbor tortured and killed: https://www.theregister.com/2019/03/20/mcafee_25m_lawsuit_ne...
He's so frequently called "colorful" and "successful". In fact, he was a nutjob who most likely did unspeakable things when he wasn't busy doing just terrible things.
I choose to remember him like this: "How To Uninstall McAfee Antivirus" => https://youtu.be/bKgf5PaBzyg
I feel like a lot of people in this thread are forgetting he likely killed his neighbor in 2012 and has been on the run since. I mean, sure he built some antivirus software a few decades ago, but I don't think he deserves the eulogies he's getting here. He's not tech's Hunter S. Thompson; he's a murderer who spent the last years of his life screwing over people with crypto scams.

From McAffee in 2019, "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. " https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/120086428376625152...
Why kill someone they were about to get legitimately?

I mean, he very likely killed his neighbor in 2012... so I feel like "colorful" undermines how much of a monster he's been for over a decade.
Why did he kill his neighbor?
