A polar bear in Churchill, Manitoba. Fatal polar bear attacks occurred in Churchill in 1968 and 1983.

Fatal bear attacks in North America have occurred in a variety of settings. There have been several in the bears' wilderness habitats involving hikers, hunters, and campers. Brown bear incidents have occurred in their native range spanning Alaska, Northern and Western Canada, and portions of the Rocky Mountains in the United States. The locations of black bear wilderness fatal attacks reflect their wider range: all Canadian Provinces except the Atlantic Provinces and several major mountainous areas in the United States.

Bears held captive by animal trainers, in zoos, carnivals, or kept as pets have been responsible for several attacks. There have also been unusual cases in which a person entered a bear's cage and was then mauled.

Bear attacks are extremely rare.[1][2][3] Attacks are for predatory, territorial, or protective reasons.[4] Most wilderness attacks have occurred when there was only one to two persons in the vicinity, and no attacks have ever been recorded against groups of six or more.[5][6]

In this list, three species of bear are recognized: the brown bear (Ursus arctos), the American black bear (Ursus americanus), and the polar bear (Ursus maritimus).

Name, age, gender Date Type Location Description
Daniel Ward O'Connor, 27, male May 10, 2015 Wild near Mackenzie, British Columbia Ward was attacked by a bear while he slept near the fire pit at his campsite. His fiancée who slept in a nearby motorhome found his body the following morning. The bear was later shot and killed by conservation officers.[7][8]
Darsh Patel, 22, male September 21, 2014 Wild near West Milford, New Jersey Patel was about to begin hiking with four friends in Apshawa Preserve when they met a man and a woman at the entrance who told them there was a bear nearby and advised them to turn around.[9] They continued on, found the bear, and Patel and another hiker took photos. They turned and began walking away, but the bear followed them. The hikers ran in different directions, and found that Patel was missing when they regrouped. Authorities found Patel's body after searching for two hours. A black bear found in the vicinity was killed.[10] According to the State Department of Environmental Protection, this was the first fatal bear attack on a human in New Jersey on record.[10]
Lorna Weafer, 36, female May 7, 2014 Wild near Fort McMurray, Alberta Weafer, a Suncor worker was attacked at the remote North Steepbank oil sands mine site while walking back to work after a trip to the washroom. Efforts by co-workers to scare off the bear were unsuccessful. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police shot and killed the bear upon arrival. A preliminary investigation determined that the attack was predatory.[11]
Robert Weaver, 64, male June 6, 2013 Wild George Lake near Delta Junction, Alaska Weaver was attacked by a black bear while walking back to his cabin on George Lake, according to his wife, who was able to flee inside the cabin and was uninjured.

Lana Hollingsworth, 61, female July 25, 2011 Wild Pinetop-Lakeside, Arizona Hollingsworth was attacked by a 250 lb (113.4 kg) black bear while walking her dog at a country club.

Bernice Adolph, 72, female June 2011 Wild near Lillooet, British Columbia Adolph's remains were found by police dogs after she was reported missing. She was an elder in the Xaxli'p First Nation.

Lance Crosby, 63, male August 7, 2015 Wild Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming Crosby, a frequent visitor to the park and an employee of Medcor, a company that operates three urgent-care clinics in Yellowstone, was reported missing when he did not report for work. A park ranger found his body in a popular off-trail area less than a mile from Elephant Back Loop Trail, an area he was known to frequent. His body was partially consumed and covered. Puncture wounds on his arms indicated he had tried to defend himself. Based on the presence of a sow grizzly and a cub in the area, the sow was deemed responsible for the attack. The sow was captured and euthanized after it was found to be the bear that killed Crosby.[16][17]There were public appeals to not kill the sow, but the park superintendent decided there was a risk the sow might kill again; based on July 6, 2011 and August 24, 2011 killings in the park, where another sow was present at both those killings.[18]
Claudia Huber, 42, female October 18, 2014 Wild near Johnsons Crossing, Yukon Huber's husband encountered a bear outside of his house. When he went inside to retrieve a rifle, the bear came into the house through a window. After Huber and her spouse fled the house, the bear pursued and killed Huber. Huber's husband shot the bear dead.[19]
Ken Novotny, 53, male September 17, 2014 Wild near Norman Wells, Northwest Territories While on a hunting trip near Normal Wells, Novotny was charged and struck by a bear. Friends reported Novotny had just killed a moose and was prepping his prize when the bear "came out of nowhere." He died on the scene. Authorities later found and killed the bear responsible for his death.[20]
Rick Cross, 54, male September 7, 2014 Wild Kananaskis Country, Alberta Cross, a hunter, was killed by a mother bear when he accidentally got between her and her cubs. His body was found near his backpack. RCMP said it appeared he wandered into the area where the mother and cub were feeding on a dead deer.[21]
Adam Thomas Stewart, 31, male September 4, 2014 Wild Bridger-Teton National Forest, Wyoming Stewart was conducting research alone in the Bridger-Teton National Forest in northwest Wyoming. After he failed to return, a search found his body.[22] The coroner suspects it was a grizzly bear, but the species hasn't officially been determined.
Richard White, 49, male August 24, 2012 Wild Denali National Park, Alaska White was backpacking alone along the Toklat River. After hikers found an abandoned backpack and torn clothing, rangers investigated and found a male grizzly bear sitting on White's remains. The bear was shot and killed by an Alaska State Trooper. A necropsy of the bear and photographs recovered from White's camera confirmed the attack.[23]

The photographs in White's camera showed that he was taking photos of the bear in a span of eight minutes from 50 yards (46 m) to 100 yards (91 m).[24] It was the first fatal bear attack recorded in Denali National Park.[23]
Tomas Puerta, 54, male October 2012 Wild Chichagof Island, Alaska After passers-by spotted an unattended skiff, they investigated and encountered a grizzly bear sow and two cubs. Alaska State troopers and Sitka Mountain rescue personnel then found evidence of a campsite and fire on the beach. There was evidence of a struggle, and upon following a trail of disturbed vegetation, they found Puerta's body, cached and partially eaten.[25]
John Wallace, 59, male August 24, 2011 Wild Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming Wallace's remains were found by hikers on the Mary Mountain Trail, northeast of Old Faithful.[26] Wallace was hiking alone.[27] An autopsy showed that Wallace died from a bear attack.[27] According to a report released by Yellowstone rangers, park officials attempted to give Wallace a lecture about bear safety, but he was not interested, calling himself a "grizzly bear expert".[28]

DNA evidence later determined that the same sow that killed Brian Matayoshi July 6, 2011 was in the vicinity of Wallace's corpse, though it was not proved that this bear killed Wallace. The bear was killed by park officials.[29] Evidence showed that Wallace was attacked after sitting down on a log to eat a snack and the attack was predatory, rather than defensive.[29][30]
Brian Matayoshi, 57, male July 6, 2011 Wild Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming Matayoshi and his wife were hiking the Wapiti Lake Trail, and came upon a mother grizzly bear in an open meadow. The couple began to walk away, and the bear charged. After attempting to run away, Matayoshi was fatally bitten and clawed. Matayoshi's wife hid behind a tree, was lifted from the ground by the bear, and dropped. She played dead, and the bear left the area. She was not injured.[31][32]

An initial investigation by the National Park Service found the bear's actions were defensive against a perceived threat to her cubs. Since the attack was not predatory and the bear had no known violent history towards humans, no immediate action was taken towards the bear, the bear was later euthanized after it was found to be at the site of another fatal attack August 24, 2011.[29][31][32] A later investigation determined that the couple running from the bear was a mistake, and the fatal attack was a "one in 3 million occurrence".[33]
Kevin Kammer, 48, male July 28, 2010 Wild Gallatin National Forest, Montana Kammer was in his tent at Soda Butte Campground when a mother bear attacked and dragged him 25 feet (7.6 m) away. Two other campers in separate campsites were also attacked: a teenager was bitten in the leg, and a woman was bitten in the arm and leg. The bear was caught in a trap set at the campground using pieces of a culvert and Kammer's tent.[34] Later, the bear was euthanized, and her cubs were sent to ZooMontana.[35] The mother bear's unusual predatory behavior was noted by authorities.[35]
Erwin Frank Evert, 70, male June 17, 2010 Wild Shoshone National Forest, Wyoming Evert, a field botanist, was mauled by a grizzly bear while hiking in the Kitty Creek Drainage area of the Shoshone National Forest, just east of Yellowstone National Park. The bear was trapped and tranquilized earlier in the day by a grizzly bear research team. Two days after the attack, the bear was shot and killed from a helicopter by wildlife officials.[36]

Initially it was reported that Evert ignored posted warnings to avoid the area due to the potential danger involved with the bear research.[36] However, the sheriff's deputy who recovered the body and members of Evert's family stated that the warning signs were no longer present.[37] A report released the following month confirmed that the warning signs were removed, though it also asserted that Evert knew there was a bear research study being conducted in the area.[38] Evert's wife filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the federal government, which was dismissed by district court judge Nancy D. Freudenthal.[39][40]
