On Friday, October 8, 2003, two days after investigators first arrived and killed the two bears, a necropsy of the larger bear was conducted at the scene by biologist Larry Van Daele, where it was learned the stomach and digestive tract contained human remains and torn pieces of clothing. As Tim leaves the tent, investigators believe that Amie instinctively turns the camera on, possibly as her message in a bottle, and then asks Tim if the bear is still out there, and almost immediately the bear attacks. Duh. Be aware and be smart. Amie leaves the tent (the sound of a zipper and the tent door being opened) and sees Tim on the ground struggling with his head in the bears mouth and yells for him to play dead!. Amazing article. Grizzly bears are one of the largest apex predators in North America, other than man, they have no predators, they are kings of the forest and if it moves, to the grizzly, thats a meal.

What I do and would do during hypomania has me seeing this as it is. During this period, Tims cries and pleadings can be heard for two-thirds of that time. I have recently watched Grizzly Man at the request of a friend who found I was entertaining black bears in my yard, granted it is really far out in the middle of nowhere, but i do have distant neighbors. Only way I found this was by following a citation link from another story.Pure accident.I agree Tim was probably bipolar.Have a friend and relative with it and his behaviours,beliefs and attitude are strikingly similar.Btw I get that the map is not to scale but the distances are off in a bad way.How can the distance from Tim to Amy be 30 m when a marked distance from a spot between them,to Amy,be 68 m?
