A year after John McAfee died in a prison cell in Barcelona, his body remains in a Spanish morgue.

“This has been one of the longest years of my life. I would not wish this journey on anyone,” Jen McAfee, John’s daughter, told MarketWatch in a message.

He was found dead in a Spanish prison cell on June 23, 2021, while awaiting extradition to the U.S. on federal charges of fraud, money laundering and tax evasion.
