Please don’t feed the bears

Autopsy shows bear killed woman who fed animals:

An autopsy has confirmed that a bear killed a 74-year-old Ouray (yoo-ray) County woman known for leaving food outside her home, despite wildlife officers’ repeated warnings not to.

Donna Munson’s body had been partially eaten by a bear or bears when it was found outside her home Friday, but Division of Wildlife officials couldn’t immediately confirm that bears were responsible for her death.

Ouray County sheriff Dominic Mattivi says an autopsy showed Munson had scratches and maul marks consistent with being attacked by a bear. He says she had no signs of heart damage, ruling out the possibility that she died of a heart attack before being attacked.
