Ricardo Ortiz

Ricardo Ortiz was a retired bullfighter (matador) from Málaga, Spain. He is newsworthy due to his recent death after being fatally gored by a bull. The incident occurred in the corrals of the La Malagueta bullring in Málaga on Good Friday. Ortiz was working as a corral worker for the bullring at the time, assisting with the unloading of bulls from the El Pilar and Puerto de San Lorenzo ranches intended for an upcoming bullfight. Emergency services were called, but Ortiz died from his injuries. His death is significant as it highlights the ongoing dangers associated with bullfighting, even for those who are retired from the ring and working in support roles.
