Autopsy: 2 shots in head killed Mexican drug lord

MEXICO CITY (AP) — An autopsy carried out on the body of drug cartel leader Heriberto Lazcano before his body was stolen shows he died of six gunshot wounds, including two to the head, according to a forensic report released Thursday.

The Coahuila state prosecutors’ office said the autopsy determined Lazcano died of brain injuries, hemorrhaging, shock and blood loss. Lazcano, known as “El Lazca,” was a founder and one of two top leaders of the brutal Zetas drug cartel and was one of Mexico’s most-wanted drug lords.
