A black bear has killed a Minnesota woman on a secluded island in Canadian waters in an attack that experts have called extremely rare.
Catherine Sweatt-Mueller was staying with her parents in a remote cabin on Red Pine Island in Rainy Lake when she was killed.
A police spokesman said Ms Sweatt-Mueller went outside on Sunday evening when she heard her two dogs barking, but that she never returned.
After both dogs, one of them injured, returned to the cabin, the 62-year-old's parents called for help.
Officers found a bear standing over Ms Sweatt-Mueller's body and shot the animal.
The bear is being sent for testing at the University of Guelph to help determine if there were any physical reasons for its abnormal behaviour.
A spokesman for the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, said: "Attacks of this nature are extremely rare and our hearts go out to the family and friends of the victim.
