Here are some more details. https://www.kpax.com/news/western-montan...ear-attack
It appears the campers were awakened by the bear earlier in the night and the bear ran away. They then removed and secured all food from their tents.How they secured their food on bicycles was not explained. The bear returned later to the camp sight and attacked the woman. Her neighbors camping near by, "were awakened by her screams" where they deployed bear spray.
My guess is the bear was attracted to the smell of the food they had previously had in their tents. This is only an assumption on my part, but I would bet I'm not wrong. This mistake probably cost her her life. I would have also stayed awake and kept guard if a Grizzly had come into my camp so late at night...
