Timmy Treadwell and his girlfriend were eaten alive by bears. Sound recording of the attack, too.

Timmy Treadwell and his girlfriend

That's right, thank you.

Saw the documentary about him on Discovery(I think)

Didn't know the story before I watched it but not long into the show, I said, "This will not end well"

Yep.

Don't belief his "elevator when to the top floor". Mental illness plus rank stupidity in the wild will get one killed. Pity for the girlfriend.

“Timmy Treadwell and his girlfriend were eaten alive by bears. Sound recording of the attack, too.”


Treadwell was an alleged recovered addict. Gotta wonder if he substituted the adrenaline rush from his close encounters with bears for the drugs he used to take. Whatever his motivation, his addiction to insane risks caused his girlfriend’s death.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Treadwell
Treadwell also frustrated authorities by refusing to install an electric fence around his camp and refusing to carry bear spray to use as a deterrent. In fact, Treadwell had carried pepper spray with him and had resorted to using it at least one time, but wrote that he had felt terrible grief over the pain he perceived it had caused the bear and refused to use it on subsequent occasions.[9]

Someone here on FR posted something about those two either earlier this year or late last year. Anyway, I spent awhile reading about what happened and the best reports state there is only one recording and it was given to the guy's ex-girlfriend. She states that it will never be published in any way. All the supposed audio on Youtube and other sites are fakes.
