The black bear believed to have attacked a woman at Pukaskwa National Park near Marathon has been killed.
Park staff and MNR conservation officers found the bear about two kilometres from the site where a 57-year-old Michigan woman was injured last Friday.
Officials say the animal matches the physical and behavioral descriptions provided by the victim.
Tests are being conducted, and until a match is determined the park's backcountry area will continue to be closed and patrolled.
Note to readers: An earlier version of this story’s headline indicated that the above information came from Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources. The information actually came from Parks Canada.
