Steven Thomas, considered a security visionary for founding anti-spyware
company Webroot, was found dead Sunday in Hawaii, some two weeks after he
was reported missing.

The decomposing body of Thomas, who family members said began recently
suffering from bipolar disorder and delusions that he was being tracked by
aliens and the government, was discovered near the base of a 985-foot Oahu
cliff, according to newspaper reports.

Friends, meanwhile, said they were surprised to hear of Thomas' medical
condition.

He had been missing since June 30, when he was last seen at a Honolulu
hotel, where his relatives were staying, reports said. His corpse was
discovered by three hikers.
