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.

He could have killed himself anyway--- that is obvious , but his past statements still need to be taken seriously, and extra care and doubt need to be applied to the reported story.

I remember that time, maybe 5-7 years ago, when he had a car chase with the police, followed by a little shootout. After the police apprehended him, he claimed he had mistaken them for his ex-wife, and also that he was on Xanax (and who knows what else). One of a kind, that's for sure.

He’s a murderer and fraudster. You do not in fact have to applaud him for anything.

and allegedly a rapist

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.

And if the ladies stories about his hammock usage is true...

He clearly lost his mind at some point. Late John McAfee != early John McAfee. Heavy drug abuse and alcoholism looks to have played a role. Giving tons of money to a chronic addict (like he got when he cashed out of his company) can be a death sentence.

I don't think he lost his mind, but rather decided that it was more fun to seek attention than credibility.
