A grizzly bear involved in a recent attack near Fort Steele has been confirmed dead, according to the B.C. Conservation Officer Service.
Officers said they responded last week to a report of a dead grizzly found near the site of the attack. DNA testing later confirmed it was the same bear responsible.
The victim remains in hospital and is still recovering, the agency said.
Conservation officers thanked everyone who supported the response efforts.
