Authorities suspected the woman had been the victim of a rare attack due to the bear scat and hair found at the scene.
Human remains have been found in two of the three bears euthanised after they were suspected of attacking and killing a woman, according to wildlife officials. The 39-year-old woman’s body was found north of Durango in southwestern Colorado on Friday. Authorities suspected she had been the victim of a rare bear attack due to the bear scat and hair found at the scene. A dog team found a 10-year-old female black bear and two yearling cubs nearby. They were killed after it was suspected they attacked the woman and could attack someone else. The human remains were found inside the stomachs of the sow and one of the cubs during a necropsy on Saturday, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) said.
