The multi-millionaire inventor of McAfee antivirus software is being hunted by Belize authorities after an alleged rival was found shot to death, according to news reports.

John McAfee, 67, is wanted for questioning in the death of Gregory Faull, a Florida contractor who was discovered in a pool of blood at his home in the Central American country with an apparent gunshot wound to the back of his head, according to local police reports.

A week before his death, the contractor had filed a formal complaint with local authorities alleging that the antivirus pioneer had fired off guns and demonstrated “roguish behaviour” — allegedly over an issue of dogs, according to Gizmodo.

Before he became wanted for questioning, Mr. McAfee was interviewed by a reporter from Gizmodo who detailed a life that had allegedly descended into an odyssey of drugs, guns and isolation.

“I just know that McAfee alienated a lot of people around him. Frankly, I was surprised to hear that he was still living there,” Mr. Faull’s wife, Vicki Faull, told CNET on Monday, soon after being told that the tech entrepreneur could have played a role in the death of her husband.
