John McAfee, the online-security baron and founder of McAfee Security, is the prime suspect of a murder in Belize and has become a fugitive from the police, according to a report today by the tech blog Gizmodo.

The body of a fellow American expatriate, Gregory Faull, was found face-up in a puddle of blood early Sunday morning, according to the official police statement, also published by Gizmodo.

Following an earlier story on McAfee’s alleged association with “notorious gangsters in Belize,” the tech blog reported it was contacted by several of its readers with information that seems to correlate the entrepreneur with a screen name on a Russian-hosted message board on which he claimed to be working to “purify” the psychoactive components of “bath salts,” a drug not to be confused with bathing products of the same name.

According to a representative of McAfee's corporate communications team McAfee retired from the company in 1994 and has not been affiliated with it since. In February of 2011, Intel acquired McAfee Inc., for $48 per share, valuing the company at approximately $7.68 billion.
