Multiple outlets report that a 19-year-old woman dies after being mauled during a hike in an area where a mother bear and her three cubs are present. The reports say the woman and her stepfather were hiking when they surprised the bear with cubs. After the encounter, the pair are attacked. One account states that the victim calls her mother during the incident and says six final words before she dies. The woman’s age and recent attainment of her driver’s licence are also mentioned in both sources. The accounts describe the bear’s attack as involving severe injuries that lead to her death, and they state that the victim is “eaten” or fatally mauled. Both sources provide the same core sequence: hike, surprise encounter with a mother bear and three cubs, attack on the woman and stepfather, and a last phone call to her mother. Details such as the exact location, timing, and official investigation findings are not provided in the excerpts.
