13:47Now PlayingOn October 3rd, Lars Vilks, the Swedish artist who became controversial in 2007 for drawing the Prophet Muhammad with a dog’s body, died in a car accident. According to investigators, the collision also killed two police officers who were escorting Vilks. The 75-year old artist had been living under police protection since his cartoons were made public. The global outrage surrounding his work led the prime minister at the time to meet with representatives from 22 Muslim countries. Not long after the meeting, a $100,000 bounty was put up by Al-Qaeda in Iraq as a reward for his death. Known for his driftwood sculptures installed without permission in the Swedish nature reserve, Vilks was considered a contrarian artist. Vilks claimed that his portrayal of Muhammad was a statement against political correctness in the art world. Police are investigating the crash, but so far no foul play is suspected.
