The horrifying moment top Spanish matador is gored to death by 1,200lb beast live on TV as shocked spectators watch the first bullfighter die in more than 20 years

Segovia bullfighter Víctor Barrio, 29, suffered a mortal blow during a tournament in the town of Teruel in Aragon - the first matador fatality in Spain this century. 


He was rushed to hospital unconscious but died shortly afterwards. He had rolled to the ground in a painful somersault after the bull caught him while he tried to attract the bull during his routine. The bull caught him in the side, rammed him to the ground and gored him the chest. Although deaths from Spain's famous bull runs are relatively common, with up to around 10 deaths recorded each year, worldwide the last matador death was in 1987.
