The charred corpse of a Canadian man has been found in a burnt-out rental car in Mexico, more than a week after he went missing.
Fifty-one year-old Daniel Dion disappeared on a business trip to Acapulco, a coastal resort city plagued by drug violence.
His family found the car using GPS data and say a blackened watch on the corpse belonged to him.
A family member says police have confirmed that Dion was kidnapped.
Dion headed EcoPurse Mexico, a company that employed Mexican prisoners and labourers to sew eco-friendly purses and said it aimed to improve the lot of poor Mexicans.
His family became alarmed when he missed a plane back to Canada, where he lived.
