Acapulco, Mexico — A fan trying his hand during an improvised bullfight in southern Mexico is dead after a bull gored him in the throat.
Police in Guerrero state say 22-year-old Juan Casarrubias Rendon died in the small mountain town of Atlixtac.
A state police statement said Casarrubias was wounded during a traditional, rodeo-like event known as a "jaripeo."
He was taken to a local clinic late Saturday, but died.
While jaripeos mostly involve bull riding, young men sometimes try to perform a crude form of bullfighting during the events.
