Laboratory results have connected one of three Black bear killed by wildlife officers in Southwest Florida The officials said on Friday about a fatal attack on a man and his dog a day earlier.

Test showed that the DNA of the same bear was present on Markel's body, in his house and on the body's body.

Wildlife officials have not expressly said that Bär is the one who killed Markel, but a preliminary autopsy of the Collier County Medical Examiner found that Markel's cause of death corresponds to a bear attack.

Markel was attacked in the vicinity of his house in a rural area east of Naples, south of the Big Cypress Wildlife Management area, near his house.

Wildlife officials set several traps and cameras. They killed three black bears in the area and sent their remains to a Gainesville laboratory. None of the animals that were tested positively for rabies said civil servants.

Wildlife officers still investigate the events that have led to the attack.

Florida's black bears that were once threatened have increasingly hiked to neighborhoods and privately owned in recent years, especially in more rural areas of northern and central floridas.
