Libyan tyrant Moammar Khadafy has gone from the heights of power to 6 feet under.
Khadafy was reportedly buried at dawn Tuesday in a secret location, a Misrata military council official said. A handful of mourners attended the funeral.
Libya’s National Transitional Council did not want the despot’s grave to become a shrine, so it is keeping the location under wraps, according to Al Jazeera.
Khadafy’s corpse was on public display in a freezer at a shopping mall in Misrata while officials bickered over what to do with it.
The multitude of visitors, which prevented the freezer from staying properly cooled, caused the corpse to decay rapidly and made it necessary to bury the body, officials said.
International organizations asking to see the burial site would be given access, NTC spokesman Ibrahim Beitalmal told The Associated Press.
It is still unclear exactly who shot Khadafy to death and when.
Videos posted online show that the ousted leader was captured alive.
An autopsy concluded the ousted leader later died from a gunshot wound to the head.
Libya’s interim leaders have promised an investigation.
