Request granted:
Prominent author and filmmaker Timothy Treadwell,
much of whose work was devoted to his love of brown
bears and a campaign to make people more tolerant of
them, was killed and partially eaten by bears in
October near Kaflia Bay, in southern Alaska.
Treadwell carried no weapons in the wild, and
according to friends, was unmoved by brown bears'
ferocity. He told one friend, "I would be honored to
end up in bear scat."
