A Wellington-based film worker has been fatally gored by a bull in India.
Juan Pablo Lampe, who worked at special effect wizards Weta Digital, was killed by a stray bull while on holiday with his fiancee.
He had become trapped between two fighting bulls as the couple were walking in the Walled City in Jaipur on Saturday, the Hindustan Times reported.
One of the bulls gored Lampe and he was taken to hospital, but the injuries proved fatal.
"The muzzle hit his neck and stomach and he was taken to the hospital but he did not survive," said police officer Chaina Ram.
Lampe (29) is from Argentina and moved to Wellington in 2009. He worked at Weta Digital as a senior compositor.
"The couple came to our hotel on Saturday from Pushkar and that same day this strange accident happened, they were supposed to stay here for two days before heading to Agra," said Kunal Sonar, of the Hotel Mustache, where Lampe was staying.
Lampe would have turned 30 this weekend and he and his fiancee had planned to get married next month.
In India it is common for bulls and cows to move freely through the streets.
