I live very near this park, where my daughter has hiked hundreds of times, and I can assure you that a black bear will most definitely attack a human.
My goodness, this is terrible news. Had no one reported a missing relative of friend?
Maybe I can check into this and get more information.
My daughter was educated by park rangers and fellow hikers how best to avoid a bear confrontation. I was always a bit concerned whenever she went on hikes to Mount Le Conte.
My condolences to this person's family and friends.
