A 16-year old teenager was mauled to death by a bear near an Alaskan
trail on Sunday during an annual mountain race. According to Alaska
State Troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters, the runner was found dead from
injuries he sustained in the mauling shortly after 1 p.m. near the Bird
Ridge Trail north of Girdwood.
The 16-year old teenager was running the juniors
division of the Robert Spurr Memorial Hill Climb before authorities
began searching for him after he texted a relative that a bear was
chasing him.
A black bear, found near where the runner was laying, scurried off after being shot in the face.
