In his career he had been seriously wounded at least five times yet he could not bring himself to retire.[2] He had remarked in an interview "I think all bullfighters live with the hope of continuing in the bullfighting atmosphere, to prolong the taurine feast".[2] He was seriously injured a sixth time, a goring that he received from the bull "Monín" on July 20, 1987 in Sogamoso, Colombia.[2][1] He was trapped up against the boards and was mauled by the bull. It resulted in a pierced lung that proved to be fatal. He had been a professional bullfighter for 31 years and had announced his retirement for the next year.
