One of the top bullfighters in Spain, Victor Barrio, was gored to death in Madrid on Saturday — becoming the first matador to die in the ring since 1986. They held his funeral today and hundreds attended, amidst loud calls in that country to ban bullfighting for good.
What makes the death even more horrific is that it was broadcast on live TV in Spain, and that Barrio’s wife was in the stands when it happened. WARNING: The video below is quite graphic:
