His neighbor was found lying face up in a pool of blood with a single gunshot in the back of his head.

McAfee told news outlets at the time that he was afraid he would be killed if he was taken into custody for questioning.
He went underground, which sparked a dramatic manhunt, but when he spoke to a reporter at Wired, he said: “Under no circumstances am I going to willingly talk to the police in this country.
"You can say I’m paranoid about it but they will kill me, there is no question.
"They’ve been trying to get me for months. They want to silence me. I am not well-liked by the prime minister. I am just a thorn in everybody’s side.”
