You may have missed my point. 
Bears don't kill you. They couldn't care less if you're dead, or not. The dying part is just a side effect of the eating part.

Bears have mauled and eaten a wealthy couple and a pilot after their helicopter crashed in the Russian wilderness.
The helicopter was flown by well-known Russian biathlete Igor Malinovsky, with business people Zoya Kaygorodova and Sergey Kolesnyak on board.
On July 16, the helicopter lost communication due to bad weather, Euro Weekly News reported. The next day, the helicopter wreckage was discovered by rescuers in Kamchatka. Three hours later, remains of the trio were found near the Semyachkov Pass, just 13 kilometers from the Uzon volcano.
It is believed the corpses were dragged away, mauled and eaten by wild bears that populate the region.
Kamchatka has one of the highest densities of brown bears on the earth. An estimated 10,000 to 14,000 bears live in the Peninsula, which is about the size of California.
Bears do not usually seek out humans to eat. They usually eat plants, insects, fish, and other smaller animals. Kamchatka brown bears have access to richer food sources such as salmon, pine nuts and berries. However, bears are opportunistic hunters, meaning they take advantage of food that is readily available to them. Grizzly bears in particular, will often scavenge the remains of prey that is already dead.
Kamchatka brown bears are one of the largest bears in the world. Males can reach a weight of 1,500 pounds.
The bears may have sifted through the helicopter remains to get to the passengers, the Daily Star reported.
The couple were reportedly tourists to the area, and had been exploring the peninsula. It is unclear whether the passengers were dead before being dragged off by the predators. Bears rarely attack humans unless provoked or threatened in some way.
A criminal investigation has been launched into the crash and the deaths of the passengers, NTV reported.

PS, what’s this bear doing, assuming the gender of these skeletal remains?
The Edge,,,Okay.
Timothy Snakwell was another worthy tidbit.

Kamchatka. Usually encountered while playing Risk.
I haven’t seen that in a while. That’s hilarious.
Dang! Wish I’d thought of using that!
What’s even better about this one is that I’m a Bob, and my brother is a Jim.
That was a rich meal.
"Hey, Bart, check their credit rating. I'm not eating anyone worth less than $5,000,000.
Remember what happened when we ate the homeless guy."
so, taste like chicken? Chicken Kiev?
But they were well cooked although had a bad aftertaste of fuel.
Bears got taste. They only eat wealthy couples.
Maybe.🤔
Maybe the bears came to rescue them.
Maybe they’re like big Saint Bernards.
Maybe they were trying to drag them to safety when they were attacked by a herd of man eating squirrels.
Russia has an extremely restrictive and corrupt gun control regime. Generally, Russians are not free, and many live in fear.
Nice!
that bites...
