Víctor Barrio

Víctor Barrio Hernanz (29 May 1987 – 9 July 2016) was a Spanish bullfighter from Segovia. He was killed by a bull during the Feria del Ángel festival in Teruel; the bullfight was broadcast live on television.[1] He was the first bullfighter to be killed in Spain since 1985 (excluding the banderilleros Manolo Montoliú and Ramón Soto Vargas, who died in 1992).[2]

Barrio was killed by a 529-kg bull named Lorenzo.[1] The bull's horns perforated Barrio's chest several times. He was transported to the bullring's infirmary and was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.[1] The autopsy revealed that Barrio's lungs and thoracic aorta had been pierced.[1] Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy paid tribute to him. Due to Barrio's death, most of the festival acts were cancelled.[3]
