A 71-year-old woman named Patrice Miller was found mauled to death by a black bear inside her home in Downieville, California, marking the state's first fatal black bear attack. The woman's body was discovered in November 2023, with evidence that a bear had been feeding on her remains. This incident highlights the importance of not attracting bears to homes with easy food sources, as black bear attacks in California are rare, with no previous fatalities. The bear responsible for the attack was trapped and euthanized, and authorities warned residents to secure their homes and remove outside food sources to prevent similar incidents.
