Denali bear attack.

First bear-related fatality ever in Denali National Park.  Big news up here.  I'm sure it's made it down the the lower 48 as well.

ATTACK

August 26, 2012|By Alan Duke, CNN
The area of Denali National Park where a bear killed a man Friday is closed "until further notice."
A southern California man killed by a grizzly bear in Alaska's backcountry was shooting photos of the animal that killed him just moments before the attack, a National Park Service official said Sunday.

The bear that killed Richard White, 49, was still with his body when rangers found him in Denali National Park on Saturday, the official said.

The San Diego resident had been backpacking alone for three nights when he was mauled to death by the bear, according to a park service statement.
