A 66-year-old Arizona man was fatally mauled by a black bear in an unprovoked and"highly uncommon" attack Friday morning, the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office said in a news release about the incident.
"It appears that a male black bear attacked Mr. Jackson, taking him unaware, and dragged him approximately 75 feet down an embankment," the statement said. However, by the time the bear let go, authorities said Jackson had already succumbed to his"horrible injuries." The bear, which was killed, is no longer a threat to the public, but officials have warned campers and visitors to the area to take precautions such as locking up food in a vehicle and not leaving out items like toothpaste, which can attract the animal to a campsite.
