Authorities say a wild black bear ate most of a Northern California man who likely died earlier of a heart attack.
Humboldt County Deputy Coroner Roy Horton said Friday he believes 65-year-old Marion Williams died outside his trailer in a remote area before the bear came upon him.
Authorities discovered the remains on Monday. The identity was confirmed using fingerprints.

So, don’t play dead?
did they find the bells in bear scat?
I’m thinking he died of a heart attack when the bear attacked him.
Lots cheaper than an undertaker!
If the bear found him after he died the bear would have buried him. I learned that from Bugs Bunny.
Yeah, like he had a heart attack when he realized he was being eaten by a bear.

The Black Bear found the dead man and had a meal and did not attack the man who was already dead.

Waste not want not?

Don’t be surprised if you are called to testify against the Black Bear in court.
My wife had a relative who had a heart attack and died alone out in the woods. By the time they found him the bear and lots of other woodland creatures had turned him into a smorgasbord.
Due to the frequency of human-bear encounters, the Fish and Wildlife Department is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen and any persons that use the out of doors in a recreational or work related function to take extra precautions while in the field.
We advise the outdoorsman to wear little noisy bells on clothing so as to give advanced warning to any bears that might be close by so you don’t take them by surprise.
We also advise anyone using the out-of-doors to carry “Pepper Spray” with him is case of an encounter with a bear.
Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh bear activity, and be able to tell the difference between black bear feces and grizzly bear feces. Black bear feces is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear shit has bells in it and smells like pepper.
With a grizzly maybe. They generally attack for territorial reasons, and playing dead often works. With a black bear they are after dinner, and you must fight back.

Crdt: who else , pookie.
Humboldt County. Isn’t that by you?
Sometimes you eat the bear ... and sometimes the bear eats you.
It says to “stand your ground” against a black bear but not against a grizzly bear.
Don’t let Al “not so” Sharpton get a hold of this one...
So if confrontation is unavoidable, you stand up to a black bear, and the only thing that works with a Grizzley is bear spray?
I always heard the “make yourself as big as possible” strategy.
“let” the bear be the first to run
