Matador suffers gory death

- Post staff

A Spanish matador was gored to death fighting a bull in France on Saturday.

Ivan Fandino, 36, had tripped on his cape in Aire-sur-l’Adour and fallen to the ground when the bull went for him, goring him in the right side.

Fellow bullfighte­rs removed him from the arena and he underwent emergency surgery in a facility at the bull ring before being rushed to a hospital.

His last words, spoken in desperatio­n to an ambulance crew, were, “Hurry up, I’m dying!’’ Britain’s Telegraph newspaper reported. He was dead on arrival at a hospital.
