McAfee released from hospital; his lawyer blames illness on stress

John McAfee has just been released from a Guatemala hospital following another twist in the epic tale of his evasion of Belizean authorities. Early reports suggested he'd suffered two heart attacks, but his lawyer insists this was not the case. "He never had a heart attack," Telesforo Guerra said of the software guru, who had collapsed and been rushed to a hospital Thursday morning. "He was suffering from stress, hypertension and tachycardia (rapid heartbeat)," Guerra explained. It seems McAfee's highly eventful week, which included the unwitting publication of his location and his arrest for skipping the Guatemalan border, might have taken its toll on the 67-year-old. [Source]
