Bear attacks hot-tubber

WHISTLER, B.C.—A black bear has been destroyed in Whistler, B.C. after attacking a man in a hot tub.
RCMP S/Sgt. Steve LeClair said the 55-year-old victim is recovering from cuts to the back of his head, but will be okay.

LeClair said the man was sitting in a backyard hot tub yesterday afternoon with his back to the forest when he was hit hard from behind and turned to find himself facing the bear.
The man yelled and ran into his house while the bear walked back into the woods, where it was found about 100 metres from the home and destroyed.
A necropsy will be performed on the mature male bruin in hopes of determining what prompted the attack.
