Man killed by bear in Alaska was a San Diego photographer

Richard White, 49, who was mauled to death Friday, was the first person to die in a bear attack in the history of Denali National Park, authorities say. Photos of the bear that mauled him were found in his camera.

A man killed by a grizzly bear in Alaska’s Denali National Park last week was identified Sunday as a 49-year-old San Diego photographer, who had been taking pictures of the animal for at least seven to eight minutes before the attack, park officials said.
