Muammar Gaddafi

Ousted Libyan ruler Moammar Gadhafi was buried at an undisclosed location early Tuesday, an NTC spokesman confirms.

The National Transitional Council and the United Nations have called for an independent investigation into the death of the man who ruled Libya for 42 years. Multiple scenarios have emerged as to how the last minutes of Gadhafi's life played out. When he was captured, he was, by all accounts, alive.

Mahmoud Jibril, Executive Chairman of Libya's National Council, said Gadhafi was shot in the arm as he was dragged into a vehicle headed to Misrata.

But the autopsy report from the chief pathologist said Gadhafi died of a gunshot wound to the head. Ref. CNN
