The remains of Kay Grayson, 67, were found in a well-known bear path just 100 yards from her isolated home in Tyrrell County on Monday.
Authorities could only find bones, hair and ripped clothing, which had likely been there for two weeks after she was reported missing.

'Based on what we saw, we do believe that she was dragged into the woods by bears or multiple bears,' he said. 'The remains were on a path that was used by bears. Her clothing had been ripped by what appeared to be bears.'
'She fed the bears a lot,' Liverman added, 'But we do not know if bears actually killed her.'
Grayson, who lived alone in the home she dubbed 'Bearsong' without a phone, electricity, or running water, had spent 20 years feeding the local animals with peanuts and dog food.
However, last year she stopped feeding black bears after Sgt Mark Cagle, of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, warned her of the dangers.

She did this for 20 years with no issue, then some cop tells her to stop and she is dead?
Animals have routines, break that routine and they tend to do drastic things especially when it comes to food stability.
People(read animals) are no exception, look at food riots.
Essentially this cop removed food stability from these bears. Obviously they will get a lil pissed.
