Seif al-Islam Kadhafi, the son of Libya's deposed longtime ruler, has died, Libyan media reported on Tuesday, without providing details on his death.
TV channel al-Ahrar said people close to him confirmed his death "without revealing the circumstances", while state news agency LANA cited his adviser, Abdallah Othman, who also confirmed the death.
Seif al-Islam had long been seen as his father's successor. In 2021, he announced he would run for president, but those elections were indefinitely postponed.
