Lane Frost, the 1987 world champion bull rider, was killed Sunday when he was thrown by a bull and gored in the back at Cheyenne Frontier Days. Frost, 25, of Quanah, Texas, died when a major blood vessel was punctured by broken ribs after a charging bull rammed into his back, according to Laramie County Coroner Roger Radomsky.

Spectators watching the competition said Frost was thrown clear from the bull. But as the cowboy walked away, the animal charged him from behind. Onlookers said the cowboy stumbled, signaled for help, collapsed and appeared to lose consciousness.
