Teacher Candice Berner, 32, was attacked while out jogging near Chignik Lake, a Native Alutiiq village, in Alaska.
Snowmobilers found her severely mauled body in a pool of blood and tracks from four wolves in the snow.
The Alaska State Medical Examiner listed “multiple injuries due to animal mauling” as the cause of death for Candice Berner, 32, a special education teacher from Pennsylvania who began working in Alaska in August. Her body was found off the road a mile outside the village of Chignik Lake on the Alaska Peninsula, which is about 474 miles southwest of Anchorage.
Colonel Audie Holloway, of the Alaskan State Troopers, said: “There’s no other carnivores in that area that are out and active. There were wolf tracks all around the body, and drag marks associated with those tracks.”
Candice Berner is apparently the first person in the U.S. killed by wolves in modern times.
