The reports do not say if the bear ingested any human flesh or not; but the fact that the male bear stayed at the scene and would not be driven off indicates that he viewed the body as a food source.

“the male bear was walking in a circle about 30 yards from the victim's body and wouldn't leave even after officers tried to scare it away by making loud noises and throwing sticks and stones.”

The news services like to further the “bambi” vision of wildlife, and tend to downplay animal attacks.
