Guatemala checking Mexico drug lord death

Guatemalan authorities are investigating whether Mexican drug cartel boss Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman was killed in a clash between traffickers and its forces in Peten near the border with Mexico.

Officials on Thursday said fingerprints and photos were taken to determine whether Mexico's most wanted man was dead. The information was being cross-checked with Mexican authorities.
