    A drug lord found himself tied to an anchor and launched into the ocean after stealing a cartel's 450lb cocaine shipment.<\/p>\n

    Venezuelan drug trafficker Reinaldo Fuentes, 68, was bound and gagged by his killers, who left him bloodied and bruised before they tied him to an anchor and tossed him into the sea.<\/p>\n

    The 68-year-old was left to drown when he was hauled overboard into the Caribbean Sea near Martinique for allegedly trying to capitalise on a drugs haul.<\/p>\n

    None of his kidnappers were identified but grim footage showed a panicked and bound Fuentes dipped into the waters with "no way to save himself."<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Venezuelan Clan del Cartel middleman Fuentes had attempted the hair-brained scheme of nicking \u00a37.9million ($10million) worth of cocaine from the gang.<\/p>\n

    His coast guard pursuit fabrication, which he used as an explanation as to where the cocaine had gone, backfired when his bosses were suspicious of where their cash had gone.<\/p>\n

    Not taking all too kindly to the attempted theft, the cartel responded in bloodthirsty fashion and threw a bound Fuentes into the oceans on July 17, the Daily Mail reported. <\/p>\n

    Fuentes' death comes after the 68-year-old attempted to collect the cocaine, repackage it and take it to a separate island in the Caribbean. <\/p>\n
