Shot in face with shotgun, but still alive

MEXICO Drug cartel captured a spy who was operating in an area near the US border and supplied information about their activities to a rival cartel. Such behaviour is punishable by death in wars between states and even between cartels, but in this case he was not executed militarily, but by torture. The cartel first blew off a chunk of his face with a shotgun so they could record a threatening video to their rivals and then left him to die slow death.
