The bears were euthanized and taken to a lab for a necropsy. The sow was believed to be more than 10 years old.

“Out of an abundance of caution, the bears were removed for public safety,” Chick said. “We ask the public to report any encounter with an aggressive bear to CPW.”

The La Plata County coroner will do an autopsy on the unnamed woman to officially determine her cause of death. Wildlife officials will also continue to investigate to confirm it was a bear attack.
