That just further deepens my guess that the “victim” did not follow proper bear prevention techniques.

If they used his tent, that suggests that he may have had some of his food in the tent.

You are correct - he was the food in the tent.

From the article:

Yet in the case of the Wednesday's attack, all the victims had put their food into metal food canisters installed at campsite, Sheppard said.

"They were doing things right," he said. "It was random. I have no idea why this bear picked these three tents out of all the tents there."

Possible, but there's no reason to jump to that conclusion.
