Officials from Arizona Game and Fish believe that the bear's aggression was a "predatory" response.
A 66-year-old man in the United States was mauled to death by a black bear that attacked him unprovoked while he was drinking his morning coffee on Friday. In a Facebook post, the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office said that the man, identified as Steven Jackson, died in Arizona during the attack and the bear too was killed by a neighbour who was trying to save the man's life.
"From multiple witness accounts and preliminary investigation of the scene, Mr. Jackson had been sitting having coffee at a table on his property where he was building a home," the sheriff's office said in the post, adding it was a remote, heavily wooded area.
"It appears that a male black bear attacked Mr. Jackson, taking him unaware, and dragged him approximately 75 feet down an embankment," the officials added.
