A ransom note sent to US media outlets in the wake of the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of presenter Savannah Guthrie, said she had died, according to reports.

It was reportedly the second of two notes sent to news organisations following her abduction, with the other demanding millions of dollars for the 84-year-old's release.

CNN and Kold News, an Arizona television station, said they were aware of the contents of the second note but that they had initially agreed not to share details so as not to compromise the investigation.
