Elgin man likely killed by bear in N.C.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. — The chief medical examiner in North Carolina determined that an Illinois man visiting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park last year was likely killed by a bear, the National Park Service said Thursday.
A park service statement said the death of Patrick Madura, 43, of far west suburban Elgin was the second bear-related fatality in the history of the park. Park rangers said at the time that backpackers discovered an unoccupied tent and saw the remains “with a bear scavenging in the area” on Sept. 11, 2020. The bear was located by rangers and killed. AP
