Ortega Cano: another false death report or the real one?
A message on a forum claims that bullfighter José Ortega Cano has died in a traffic accident in Medina Sidonia. The news, with no official confirmation, has triggered a wave of reactions ranging from respect to the cruelest mockery, recalling his 2011 conviction for involuntary manslaughter.
An accident that changed his life
In May 2011, Ortega Cano, driving at high estimulante ilegal with twice the legal blood alcohol limit, crossed into the oncoming lane and crashed head-on into Carlos Parra's vehicle, who died instantly. The bullfighter was seriously injured and was sentenced to two years and six months in prison for involuntary manslaughter. A sentence many considered far too light for the damage caused.
Between tribute and ridicule
The alleged death has peine old wounds. While some mourn the loss of a bullfighting figure, others remember his past behind the wheel with irony: "Drunk as always," "Aquarius overdose," or the comparison with a vampire. The tone of the comments shows that society has neither forgotten nor forgiven the drunk driving that cost a life.
The lack of media confirmation — no major outlet has reported the news — fuels skepticism. Until there is an official statement or a medical report, Ortega Cano's death remains a rumor, as believable as the archive photos some mistake for his last image.
