Brown Bear Eats Man at Campground

In a rare predatory attack, a brown bear killed and partially ate a man at a campground a few miles from a bear-viewing site in far southeast Alaska. The body of George Tullos, 41, was found Saturday at the Run Amuck campground near Hyder, a small community on the Canadian border about 75 miles northeast of Ketchikan. The attack apparently happened sometime late Friday. “It was not a matter of slapping him around. The bear ate on him,” state trooper Sgt. Steve Garrett said. After the bear was shot and killed, biologists found the victim’s flesh in its stomach, said Bruce Dinneford, regional management coordinator for the state Division of Wildlife Conservation.
