Thanks to LucyT for the article.
The article is a little unclear when referring to the stroke he suffered, almost sounding as though that was the injury. He was mauled by the bear and suffered the stroke in the hospital.

>>Investigators later found a moose carcass cached within 50 yards of Thursday’s attack. This indicates the bear was defending a food source during the attack.
Suspected but not proven cause of the attack.

This indicates the bear was defending a food source during the attack.Or maybe it indicates the bear was a glutton seeking to add to its food sources.

Bear spray? How about do as the park folks did, carry a gun?! If I am out where there is potential bear, you bet I will have a gun.

>>man seriously injured from a grizzly bear attack
It was the stroke (or CV) that killed him in hospital.

Carry bear spray. Know how to use it and be prepared to deploy it immediately. And don't forget to wear those little bells.

A stroke? The docs probably asked if he had had the experimental Covid vaccine and he said No. He then had a stroke because they insisted and threatened him with it or they gave it to him and he subsequently died of a stroke. If true, this will be first Covid death instead attributed to a bear attack. (That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!)

Mock had bear spray and used it.
Ammoland article.
Grizzly bears have been known to be much more aggressive and dangerous than black bears since they first became known to the American government, as reported by the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1805. Was this a failure of bear spray? Yes.
In a conversation with Morgan Jacobsen of Montana FWP, Morgan confirmed bear spray residue had been found on the clothing of Carl Mock. In our tabulation of pistol defenses against bears, the situation is only included if the pistol has actually been fired. The difficulties of accessing a defensive tool are similar.
If a pistol had been fired, but the bear had not been driven off, it would be counted as a pistol failure. In this case, the bear spray was sprayed, but it did not drive off the bear. Using the same criteria, the bear spray failed.
Bear spray was not used by the investigators. Jacobsen reported the bear was seen charging them from a considerable distance. It was engaged by gunfire before it came into range of bear spray.

Bear spray is salad dressing for Grizzlies. Now, if you REALLY want to repel Grizzlies, keep a wolverine for a pet.
Grizzlies have been known to back up from a wolverine.

My same thought :) yet they shot it. You’d think a big group each carrying bear spray would be effective
