(FILE) The alleged corpse of Amado Carrillo Fuentes, considered Mexico's most powerful drug lord and head of the Juarez drug cartel, is shown at a morgue in Mexico Cityon July 7, 1997. US anti-drug officials confirmed that Carrillo Fuentes had died of a heart attack while undergoing plastic surgery and liposuction to alter his appearance. Mexico lives whipped by a war among drug cartels that dispute their place locally and the trafficking to the United States with unusual ferocity and sophisticated arms on June 11, 2008. Executed, beheaded, tied and tortured bodies with messages against rival bands, or threatened police and street announcements are part of the geography of violence in several states of Mexico. In the course of the year, there were at least 1,378 deaths, 47% more than in the same period in 2007.
