Gadhafi of nearly 42 years was captured by rebel forces in his hometown of Sirte in Oct. 2011. Libyan officials initially said Gadhafi was killed in crossfire between rebel fighters and loyalists. However, video footage emerged showing him being beaten, taunted and abused by his captors, raising questions about how and when he died. (AP Photo/Ben Curtis, File)
