The carcass of the wild animal was found a few meters from the man's body.
In Tulun District of Irkutsk Oblast a body of a missing hunter was found in the woods, and a few meters away from him was the carcass of a fatally wounded bear.
The 62-year-old man went hunting last week, but never came home. He was reported missing by the police on June 10. The search for the hunter started. Search groups were sent to the woods. The body of the missing man was found last weekend.
Investigators are trying to figure out the reason for the tragedy, but people familiar with the story have already made assumptions. The hunter shot the bear from the tree stand- a platform, which is set at a height of two to six meters. Then the man went down. But it turned out that the bear had not been killed. The furious animal attacked the man and mauled him.
After walking a few meters, the bear dropped dead from its gunshot wound.
