Colorado: Woman killed in apparent bear attack

A girl walking her two dogs in Colorado was murdered in a bear attack, park officials say.

The 39-year-old, that hasn’t been recognized, was found dead in a region north of Durango on Friday.

A black bear and two young bears were situated nearby and euthanised. Colorado Parks and Wildlife Service (CPW) verified human remains were discovered in the digestive systems of 2 bears.

Fatal bear attacks in Colorado are thought to be quite rare.

The female’s boyfriend raised the alarm after he arrived home to get the 2 dogs out his flat but no indication of his spouse.

He discovered her off her body off a street in the future Friday day and called emergency services.

A dog team in the US Department of Agriculture found a female black bear with two yearlings (youthful bears involving one and 2 years old) nearby. The animals were euthanised and on review, specialists discovered human remains within the guts of their female bear and among those young bears.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the boyfriend, relatives and friends of this girl we lost in this tragic occasion, Cory Chick, CPW Southwest Region director said in a statement.

“We can’t determine with precise certainty how or why this assault happened, but it’s very important to the public to not throw blame with this girl for the tragic and unfortunate event.”

An autopsy will be done on the girl next week to find out the official cause of death.

Bears prefer to avoid humans but they could strike for any range of reasons, such as when a individual experiences a mother with her cubs, if a bear is defending its food, or if a person is startled or surprised.

“Euthanising wildlife is not ever an activity our officers take lightly, but we’ve got an obligation to stop further harm that is laborious,” CPW Director Dan Prenzlow explained.

The final deadly bear attack was in 2009, when a 74-year-old girl was killed and partly eaten by a bear or many bears at her house in Ouray County. Within days of this episode, two bears approached officers in the scene demonstrating aggressive behavior. Both animals were taken and murdered. An evaluation by CPW maintained the victim had fed bears via a weapon in her garden.
