A Spanish matador who was gored to death by a bull in France after he stepped on his own cloak apparently uttered his final words right after the incident unfolded.
“Hurry up, I’m dying,” Ivan Fandino told others as he was being rushed to a nearby hospital, The Independent reported.
Fandino, 36, was impaled by a bull after he slipped up on his cape on Saturday.
“I can’t believe it. None of us understand how it could have happened; it was all so fast. The bull knocked him down with its hindquarters and he fell face down,” matador Juan del Alamo was quoted as saying.
