[Alas Babylon!]

That was NOT Yellowstone, that was Alaska.

Man and girlfriend eaten by grizzlies

Timothy 'Grizzy Man' Treadwell was a bear enthusiast and documentary maker who would fly out to Alaska every year to spend months camping with the animals, but one day, tragedy struck.

It became a tradition for the star to fly out there every summer, something he did for 13 years.

Timothy would chat to, play with and even touch the bears when he visited - he believed that he is one of the bears and said they were misunderstood.

The bear enthusiast was apparently repeatedly warned by friends and family of the dangers of bears, but still decided to camp with them every year.

But Timothy was tragically killed by the animal he loved so much, as he was mauled to death in front of girlfriend Amie Huguenard in October 2003.

The bear then turned on Amie, who was also tragically killed in the incident.

Remains of both people were found in the grizzly's stomach after park rangers killed it.

“Tragically killed”. He was killed which was inevitable so I hardly see it as tragic. He was stupidly killed. The girl was killed tragically because she believed the guy.

Warner Herzog made a documentary about this nuttiness, “grizzly man.” The guy was always recording himself, there is audio from the fatal attack. Herzog filmed himself listening to it but doesn’t play it for the audience. From his reaction it must have been pretty bad. I feel really bad for the girl whose presence surprised me—the guy comes off as 100% fruit cake.
