(Reuters) - Software guru John McAfee, who is fighting deportation to Belize, was rushed to the hospital in Guatemala on Thursday after his lawyer said he suffered two mild heart attacks earlier in the day.

Reporters saw McAfee carried out on a stretcher from an immigration service cottage where he was detained after crossing illegally into Guatemala from neighboring Belize, where police want to question him in connection with his neighbor's murder.

The 67-year-old U.S. software pioneer's hospitalization came after Guatemala denied a request for asylum.

McAfee was posting on his blog www.whoismcafee.com in the morning, the time his lawyer said he suffered the heart attacks.

1. His lawyer said he suffered two mild heart attacks.

Alas, I am too cynical. I'd almost bet the his lawyer advised him to have to mild heart attacks. The timing is fortuitous.

but thought it was fake. If that is his real blog, this man seems to be several sandwiches short of a picnic.
