Only one arm and a leg were left intact from 66-year-old Sergey Fadeyev's ravaged body, according to reports.
The 16st beast - which had failed to hibernate for the cold winter - covered the man's ravaged remains with a blanket after its gruesome feast, evidently aiming to come back later, according to locals.
The bear broke in by smashing a window in his house in Irkutsk region of Siberia where temperatures were as low as -45C.
The predator was later found and shot by local hunters, say reports.
San Juan native Pablo Collazo Cortes captured this footage of the weather event, which was spotted by other locals on the same date.
Collazo Cortes told Storyful he took the video as he was walking along the beach. "A waterspout began to form west of where I was, off the coast of the Pinones sector in the municipality of Loiza," he said.
He initially spotted a "first waterspout" that "did not have a complete formation, falling apart in a short time." However, soon after, "the second, much more defined waterspout" was formed, Collazo Cortes told Storyful.

Families are evacuated after their houses were flooded in Kisumu, Kenya on Dec. 3.
Around 17,000 were displaced and 11,000 livestock swept away by strong waters, government's spokesman Cyrus Oguna said. More than half of the country has been affected, according to Oguna.
The rains have helped alleviate the drought conditions across the country that caused a food shortage and added to inflationary pressures, but have damaged infrastructure and farmland. Authorities are assessing the extent of destruction as they plan repairs, according to Oguna.
The rains are above the average amounts recorded in past years, with some areas receiving as much as three their historical average, Kenya Meteorological Department Deputy Director Bernard Chanzu said by phone. The rains are expected to continue through December.

Update: NYT reports:
Typhoon Kammuri swept through the Philippines on Tuesday, ripping rooftops from houses, knocking down power lines and leaving a half-million people huddled in evacuation centers, waiting for the storm to pass. At least 17 people were killed.
Manila's international airport was closed for 12 hours during the storm, resulting in the cancellation of nearly 500 flights. Officials suspended marine traffic in affected areas as Kammuri, packing wind gusts as high as 150 miles per hour, battered the Philippine archipelago for a second day.
By early Wednesday the storm had weakened slightly, officials said, but heavy rainfall was expected to continue. Officials had feared that flooding could deluge Manila, the capital, and its surrounding areas, home to more than 10 million people.
