An Ohio man who was killed by a grizzly bear in Alaska's Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve — the first known fatal bear attack since the park's establishment in 1980 — has been identified.
in an Alaska national park was alone at the time because his hunting partner had gone back to camp to take meat from a moose they had killed, a park official said.
Park spokeswoman Jan Maslen said Pfeiffer and his hunting partner killed a moose Saturday evening, and they went back to salvage the meat Sunday. The partner was coming back to the kill site and was charged by a bear. He shot at the bear, and it flinched as though it was struck and then ran off, Maslen said. The partner then found Pfeiffer dead at the site of the moose kill.
The National Park Service determined that when the surprise attack that killed Pfeiffer occurred, a gun or device like bear spray was not readily available, the park said in a statement.
