I would love a celebrity, after their reported death, would just tweet "BRAAAAAAINS".

I'm going to go the classy route here and do the Mark Twain thing in this situation.
News of his death has been greatly exaggerated

Hilarious. Next time he will be kidnapped, and probably end up paying his own ransom.

I decided to follow him on Twitter because of this article. Imagine my surprise 5 minutes later when he followed me back. It's kind of weird, and slightly awesome.

Its so hard to uninstall McAfee isn't it?

Maybe he just made a back up of himself.
The other one had been infected and needed to be quarantined :p


Seriously though, wth happened?

So... did he die or didn't he?
I feel the same way. I think he didn't, but then again I also think that Andy wrote the article so cryptic so he has deniability in case McAfee is indeed dead.
You'd think John McAfee's tweet would be a solid hint that this was playing along with the false report.

OT: I love me a good Mark Twain reference.

How could anyone believe a story where McAfee Security finds something that is actually wrong?
I just feel sorry for the undertakers. now that he's been installed in that Casino they're never going to get him permanently out of it.

Would probably show up waisted. When somebody calls him out on it, he'd be all "Hey man, this is what I'd have wanted!"
He should sing his own Dust In The Wind eulogy. "You're my boy John! You're my boy!"
Oh, a million times this. Throw himself a funeral just for the hell of it, come back to America to gatecrash it and then evade the inevitable police ambush in a Blues Brothers style chase all the way back to Equador.

By now his life has enough material for a Hollywood trilogy, never mind just a movie.

Or perhaps he is now a zombie and wants to pretend otherwise. Having retained enough intelligence to realize that by downplaying his death he could more easily lure in victims. Then, all the sweet sweet brains will be his to feast on. It's the perfect plan!

Or there was some sort of mix-up in identifying some guy which resulted in a rather famous person being declared dead by the media. I prefer my theory, though.

After reading this thread, I am yet again reminded that people can be pretty dense.

RIP John McAfee. I hope you'll be able to attend your own funeral. *salutes*

...seriously, who managed to impersonate him and die / who failed to identify someone as properly dead?

Please see Samuel Clemens for clarification re: The report of my death was an exaggeration.
Well, it's been accurate for over a hundred years though.

He already got caught in Guatemala back in late 2012, and managed to convince the court to deport him to the US instead of Belize, which is where the alleged murder took place.

So they pretty much already know where he is. He's just fucked if he goes to Belize.

If not at the very least to retain custody over his remains. Good thing he gave himself power of attorney over himself before his passing so that he could intervene for himself over himself when the time came. The article mentions that he slipped into unconsciousness and could not be revived, so does that mean he's dead or in a coma? If he was in a coma, would that mean he could opt to take himself off life support? What would he think of himself if he knew what he was planning for himself, and would he intervene between he and himself if he could?

No I know that and he claims it was all a frame job and that the government is after him. From what the public has seen he appears to be paranoid(unknown if it is justified) of the authorities. Maybe because of all the drugs.... My point being he could have confused the hell out of them with this. Most likely not forever,unless they are idiots, but it could have been for a while.
