Sad news from Downieville CA (20 miles from where I live)
A 71 yr old woman was found deceased. Bear entered her house.

Several reports have her mauled by the bear. This report has the Sierra Co sheriff
saying the bear got to the body a day or 2 after death. Unclear. Still being investigated.

Sheriff: Bear got into Downieville woman's home after her death

Deputies doing a welfare check on a Sierra County woman's home not only discovered that she had died, but also that a bear had gotten in after her death.

No offense taken.
I just thought the JH News article was interesting since the wildlife management tends to track such things as bear activity in certain regions.
