A Montana wilderness guide has died days after being attacked by a grizzly bear near Yellowstone National Park, officials said.
Carl Mock, 40, suffered a massive stroke and died Saturday, two days after a bear weighing at least 420 pounds mauled him while he was fishing near Baker’s Hole campground, according to an online fundraiser.
“This comes as a terrible shock and is heartbreaking to everyone, since both the surgeries went so well,” organizer Keith Johnson wrote.
Mock, who worked as a wilderness guide for Backcountry Adventures and lived in West Yellowstone, suffered severe injuries in Thursday’s attack and was taken to a hospital in Idaho Falls, where he was set to have several surgeries and faced a “very long” road to recovery, Johnson wrote.
