A famous Spanish bullfighter has died after being gored by a bull during a fight in France this weekend. Ivan Fandino suffered a punctured lung when the bull rammed him with its horn on Saturday, and he reportedly suffered two heart attacks in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, Agence France-Presse reported Sunday. The 36-year-old had been performing at the Aire-sur-l'Adour bullfighting festival in southwestern France, and he had won an earlier fight prior to the fatal incident. Fandino had a reputation for taking on bulls that other bullfighters wouldn’t go up against, even taking part in a fight against six different bulls all by himself in 2012.
