Japanese officials found the body of a missing student alongside the corpse of a brown bear that likely killed him. The bear is also suspected of attacking several other people in the area.

The body of a missing student in Japan has been found alongside the corpse of a bear that likely killed him. The bear is linked to a string of other attacks in the area and follows a trend of increased bear attacks in the country this year.

On Nov. 2, police found human remains on Mount Daisengen near Fukushima in Hokkaido island. DNA analysis revealed that the remains belonged to 22-year-old university student Kanato Yanaike, who had gone missing while hiking on the mountain on Oct. 29, Japanese news site The Mainichi reported. The carcass of a brown bear (Ursus arctos) was also discovered near his body.

A postmortem of Yaniake's remains revealed that the cause of death was hemorrhagic shock from severe bleeding, which suggests that the bear likely killed him, The Mainichi Shimbun reported.

What killed the bear? Did the guy have a Hari Kiri knife and shank the bear?

I think this was a plot line from the tv show “hell on wheels”. A bear was killing people in the Wild West times. Eventually the bear attacked the wrong man, who killed the bear. I don’t want to give the rest of the story away but it didn’t end well for the man either.

They have yet to determine why the bear died. I’m guessing no heroics on the part of the unfortunate man.

“Experts believe that the uptick in attacks are the result of a decrease in the number of acorns and other foods that bears feed on. This is in stark contrast to last year, when the amount of bear food skyrocketed and resulted in a greater number of large young cubs. The combination of more large young bears and decreased food availability has likely made the situation worse.”

I’m shocked that they didn’t cite climatescam.

The bear was probably vaccinated.

“It is currently unclear what killed the bear, but scientists from the Hokkaido Research Organization will investigate its stomach contents to see if they can learn more about its death, The Mainchini reported

The bodies were located close to a site where three other men were attacked by a brown bear on Oct. 31. Two of the men were seriously injured, but the trio managed to fight off the bear with a knife and chase it away, The Mainichi reported.”

I suspect the bear succumbed from knife wounds.

Probably ate something (or someone) who disagreed with him.

The bear ate the kid raw, like sushi, and got poisoned off a bad batch.
