Amek Along had died just a few weeks before the incident from a stroke. Her husband had routinely visited the grave ever since.
"I visit the graveyard to clean it with my son on December 26 and suddenly I noticed footprints and bear excrement in the area where my late wife was buried," he told the news outlet."The next day, I brought the village residents along to check the area. We found that Amek's body was eaten by a wild bear and it was roaming around the graveyard.
