John McAfee, the nutjob sofware genius accused of killing his neighbor in Belize, has been rushed to the hospital in Guatemala as he fights deportation back to Belize.
His lawyer said McAfee suffered not one but two heart attacks, according to witesses cited by Reuters.
McAfee had been in hiding but was captured yesterday and detained in Guatemala, which will not grant him asylum.
ABC’s Matt Gutman is on the ground covering McAfee and has been tweeting photos of the media storm surrounding his hospitalization:
