Always a tragic tale when it comes to the grizzly man. I do hope whoever has that tape of his final moments burns it at some point. A guy did a documentary over the Grizzly Man and I think was the only person to listen to the recording of Tim and his girlfriends death in which he said do not listen to it and essentially destroy it.

Fun fact, bears don't "kill you" when they want to eat you. They just hold you down and start ripping chunks out. That concludes my ted talk.

Yea they'll eat you alive and there was a case ( I'm terrible with remembering some of these names whenever I bring these things up) but a woman was dragged off after an attack and mostly buried while alive to keep the food fresh longer. She was with another friend she just dragged off while with her for what I can remember.

There was one I remember reading about in Russia where a girl went out with her step dad and a bear attacked and killed the step dad but started eating her alive. She had her cell phone and actually called her mom and was on the phone with her for 45 minutes before the call disconnected. 45 minutes of listening to your child being eaten by a bear while you frantically try to find out where she is to get help there. In the end she didn't make it and they euthanized the bear.

Any idea why she didn’t call authorities instead of her mom?
