The sad news spread quickly this Friday in town. The death of Éric Gaudy, which occurred this Thursday in Egypt during a diving accident, did not leave Carcassonnaises indifferent. An orthopedic surgeon and traumatologist, he was for many years a renowned practitioner at the Carcassonne hospital center, whose excellence he contributed to. He was also a recognized aficionado and had been part of the city’s bullfighting circle since it was relaunched in 2002. When the death of Éric Gaudy was announced, the co-president of the bullfighting circle, Bernard Castans, was under the shock. “We had a very strong friendship. He was always ready to help. Always listening to others. He was a remarkable person. He had been the doctor in charge of the arenas. He had put together a medical team of without him, we would not have been able to have bullfights in Carcassonne. And he was a remarkable, impeccable surgeon.he confides. “It’s a hard blow for everyone who knew him and loved him. I think of those trips to Spain that we took, those memorable friendly meals. It’s a terrible loss.”
