Death
On February 2, 1970, Bravo and his driver were killed in a car accident near Zacatecas, México. Eloy Cavazos, a fellow matador, who was one of Jaime's protégés, was also in the car, but survived, and continued on to have a very long career as one of Mexico's and the world's top matadors.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“To die, to sleep—
No more, and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to—’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep.
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there’s the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil
Must give us pause.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“When death comes too near, comedy and tragedy fall silent.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“There is a rhythm to the ending of a marriage just like the rhythm of a courtship—only backward. You try to start again but get into blaming over and over. Finally you are both worn out, exhausted, hopeless. Then lawyers are called in to pick clean the corpses. The death has occurred much earlier.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)
