On Thursday, media reported that MacFadyen, the US investigative journalist, mentor and defender of the WikiLeaks founder Assange, died on Saturday in London at the age of 76.
Assange has been residing in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London since 2012 to not be extradited to Sweden, where he was accused of rape after WikiLeaks began to release documents in its possession.
