Business Tycoon’s Tragic End: The Bull That Shook Valencia
Watan – A tragedy struck at a Spanish festival when the CEO of Bemisa Group, a ceramic tile company in South America, José Antonio Sobis, aged 61, and a father of two faced a fatal encounter with a bull, leaving onlookers horrified. As. The fateful event unfolded in La Pobla de Fornals, close to Valencia, where a bull, ominously named “Cock,” roamed the streets.
“The Sun,” a British daily, detailed how Sobis, deeply rooted in the town and instrumental in organizing the festival, was desperately seeking refuge. However, a gap in the security barricade became his undoing as the bull targeted him. Despite being rushed to a Valencia hospital, Sobis’s injuries led to a cardiac arrest. Medical teams fought valiantly, but he couldn’t be revived.
In a chilling twist, the same bull also assaulted Sobis’s associate, Vicente Fontestad, aged 63, a citrus industry leader. After a leg surgery, Fontestad is now awaiting another procedure on his hand at Clinico Hospital in Valencia.
The night’s grim turn has cast a pall over the festivities, prompting introspection about the adequacy of safety protocols and the inherent risks of such events.
