Fish and Game officers had discovered the dead bear on April 9, 2021, in Little Warm River in Fremont County. The grizzly bear had been tagged and was wearing a radio collar so researchers could collect data on it. When the bear died, the collar sent out a mortality signal.
Investigators discovered several bullets in the bear's body, which sparked further investigation. Also, a dead cub was found in the bear's den, which had likely died after the mother failed to return.
