Ms Sanz, who married Barrio in 2014, was said to be 'devastated' as she saw her husband lying motionless on the ground, according to El Espanol.
The matador was taken to hospital unconscious but doctors could not do 'anything' to resuscitate him and save his life.
He rolled to the ground in a painful somersault after the 87 stone beast caught him while he tried to deflect it with 'muletazo' manoeuvre, reports La Razon.es.
An initial medical report conducted by Dr Ana Cristina Martinez Utrillas confirmed Barrio suffered devastating injuries as a result of the bull attack.
The report said Barrio was gored in the right chest and was in cardiac arrest by the time he was in hospital.
He underwent immediate resuscitation and was intubated. He also was given an emergency tracheotomy to allow him to breathe.
