Tripoli: Former Libyan
leader Muammar Gaddafi died of a gunshot wound to the head, the
chief pathologist said after doctors completed the autopsy Sunday.
Othman el-Zentani did not disclose additional findings, such as
whether Gaddafi suffered the wound in crossfire or at close-range,
the CNN reported.
Gaddafi, who ruled Libya for 42 years, was killed Thursday by
National Transitional Council (NTC) fighters near his hometown of
Sirte.
Zentani said the report would now go to the attorney general's
office before being released to the public.
He also informed that doctors performed the autopsy at a Misrata
hospital in the presence of officials from the prosecutor's
office.
But no foreign or independent officials were present, he added.
Autopsies were also conducted on the bodies of Gaddafi's son,
Mutassim, and his former defence minister, Abu Baker Yunis.
The three bodies would likely return to a cold storage at a
Misrata meat market for public viewing, Zentani stated.
