Description
Wallace's remains were found by hikers on the Mary Mountain Trail, northeast of Old Faithful.[20] Wallace was hiking alone.[21] An autopsy showed that Wallace died from a bear attack.[21] According to a report released by Yellowstone rangers, park officials attempted to give Wallace a lecture about bear safety, but he was not interested, calling himself a "grizzly bear expert".[22]DNA evidence later determined that the sow that killed Brian Matayoshi the month before was in the vicinity of Wallace's corpse, though it was not proved that this bear killed Wallace. The bear was killed by park officials.[23]Evidence showed that Wallace was attacked after sitting down on a log to eat a snack and the attack was predatory, rather than defensive.[23][24]
