Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who sketched the Prophet Muhammad's head on a dog's body, has died in a traffic accident.
Vilks was reported to be travelling in a civilian police vehicle which collided with a truck near the town of Markaryd in southern Sweden.
Two police officers were also killed and the truck driver was injured.
The 75-year-old artist had been living under police protection after being subjected to death threats over the cartoon.
The cartoon, published in 2007, offended many Muslims who regard visual representation of the Prophet as blasphemous. It came a year after a Danish newspaper published cartoons of the Prophet.

What is the name of the truck driver, and it said collided with did the truck strike the car?
Obviously this is the case. And the name was left out for obvious reasons. Bad security, should have been more careful. Is the truck driver being interrogated?
Dollars to donuts the truck T-Boned the car.
