Matador’s bloody end

-

RENOWNED Spanish bullfighte­r Ivan Fandino has died in hospital after being gored by a bull during a fight in southweste­rn France, a medical service source said.

The 36-year-old stumbled in the bullring after catching his feet in his cloak and was gored by the bull, whose horn punctured his lung. He was performing at the Aire-surl’Adour bullfighti­ng festival. Fandino had won an earlier fight and cut off the bull’s ear.

The last time a bullfighte­r was killed was in July 2016 when Spanish matador Victor Barrio, 29, was gored in the chest live on television.
