"He suffered mortal injuries, so there was nothing we could do to save his life," said Esther Vila, the surgeon who operated on Romero. "He had lost a great deal of blood." Authorities say three other people were gored and six more received non-life threatening injuries. The last fatal goring to occur at the festival occurred in 1995 when a bull claimed the life of 22-year-old American, Matthew Tassio.
Friday's run, the fourth of this year's San Fernin festival, brought the event's death toll to 15 since records began in 1911. The event was described as the bloodiest run in decades.
