By Beth Stebner PUBLISHED: 18:22 EST, 6 December 2012 | UPDATED: 18:53 EST, 6 December 2012 Fugitive millionaire John McAfee has been rushed to the hospital in Guatemala after suffering two minor heart attacks. The 67-year-old software company founder had been denied political asylum in Guatemala and his lawyers said they were making a last-ditch effort to keep him from being flown back to Belize for questioning about the killing of a fellow American expatriate. McAfee was moved from an immigration center to a police-run hospital Thursday afternoon after Guatemalan authorities said McAfee's request for asylum had been denied. Authorities did not offer an explanation as to why they denied him that right. Shortly after the decision was announced, McAfee issued a plea on his blog for the public to petition Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina to let him stay in the Central American country.
