John McAfee's bizarre life has taken
yet another twist after his luxury home in Belize burned to the ground
on Thursday in circumstances which he claims are suspicious.
The software tycoon's $500,000 property on an island in Belize was gutted by a fire on May 16.
The 67-year-old tech pioneer said that the blaze was another indication that someone was out to get him in the country.

7newsbelize.com revealed that the buildings were gutted by a bush fire which started around 1pm on May 16.
It is the latest chapter in the surreal life of McAfee. Last November, he went on the run after Belize police wanted to question him as a 'person of interest' in the shooting of fellow American Gregory Viant Faull.
Faull, 52, was shot dead last November on the Caribbean island where both men lived. The murder has not been solved.
McAfee had been living in the Central American nation, but fled after police sought to question him about his fellow ex-pat and neighbor's death.
Fleeing from authorities, McAfee went into hiding, but continued blogging about his unfolding adventure, detailing how he had faked a heart attack and used disguises to elude his pursuers.
Shortly after crossing into Guatemala with the help of a decoy, McAfee was detained and deported to Miami.
The tech tycoon is now living in Portland, Oregon as part of an 18-month stint to work on a graphic novel about his life.
