Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi died in 2012 at the age of 60. Four years earlier he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. At that time, Megrahi, a Libyan intelligence agent, was serving time in a Scottish prison after being convicted in connection with the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103, which killed 270 people. He was controversially released on compassionate grounds in 2009 and returned to Libya. He died there three years later.
