Body of Kidnapped Mexican Journalist Salvador Adame Found in Michoacán

HeadlineJun 27, 2017

Meanwhile, in Mexico, the body of journalist Salvador Adame has been discovered in the state of Michoacán, more than a month after he was kidnapped. This is the Michoacán state prosecutor José Godoy.

José Godoy: “The remains were transported to the city of Morelia to hand over to investigative services and which carried out the corresponding genetic analysis. After looking over the parts of the law concerning this process, the DNA samples identified the remains as Salvador Adame’s.”

Adame had worked as a journalist for more than two decades and was the director of the television station 6TV at the time of his disappearance. His friends say he often covered local politics critically. He is at least the seventh journalist to be killed in Mexico this year.
