Mexican authorities have found the four missing US citizens on Friday in Matamoros, Tamaulipas.
Two are dead, another badly injured and a fourth in good condition.
The governor of Tamaulipas, Américo Villarreal, has delivered the news via telephone call at the morning press conference of the president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Almost two hours after the president's appearance, a journalist asked him about the case, which threatened to provoke a major diplomatic conflict with the United States.
This Monday, the White House had referred to the matter, describing it as unacceptable.
On Sunday, in addition, the FBI had released a statement, offering a reward for clues that could lead to his whereabouts.
