Matador Victor
Barrio, 29, was gored to death by a 1200 lb. bull on during the Feria
del Angel competition, which is broadcast on live TV. Horrified spectators at
home and at the festival in Teruel, Spain, witnessed Victor being gored
not once, but twice by the bull’s mighty horns, dying in the ring of injuries
to the chest.

Victor’s fight was
going well as he danced around the ring, taunting his bull, Lorenzo, expertly.
But the beast snapped, lunging for Victor and goring the
matador’s left thigh with his horn. He flipped Victor over, and pierced
him in the chest, puncturing his lung and aorta. Medics immediately rushed to
his side in the ring, while others near the sidelines rushed in to try to
distract the bull and lure him away while Victor was bleeding out. But there
was nothing the medics could do; he was announced dead in the ring as
thousands watched on in horror at the death they witnessed live.

His death was
confirmed by Madrid’s Las Ventas bullring, where Barrio started out as an
apprentice matador in 2010. Victor was the first professional matador to die during a
bullfight in Spain since Jose Cubero Yijo in 1985. Banderilleros, or
matador’s assistants, Manolo Montoliu, then 38, and Ramon
Soto Vargas, then 39, were gored in 1992 in Seville.
