Canadian authorities have identified a body partially eaten by a black bear as convicted murderer Rory Nelson Wagner.
Police believe Wagner was already dead in a 1986 Volkswagen Jetta - which was covered in scratches and muddy paw prints - when the black bear broke into the vehicle, ate some parts of him and dragged the rest of the body away.

The BC Coroners Office has released the name of the man
whose body was discovered Wednesday in a remote area near Long Lake Road, south
of Kamloops. 54 year old Rory Nelson Wagner was last seen in Kamloops May 23rd.
According to Kamloops this week Wagner was one of three men who pleaded guilty
to second-degree murder in relation to the death of a Langley man in 1996. His
vehicle was discovered by hunters along this road and soon after his body was
found partially covered by brush. A bear was seen in the area and is thought to
have pulled his body from the car and then eaten part of it. A trap has been set
by conservation officers as they try to capture the bear - but despite earlier
reports the animal would be killed, we are now told the animal will be assessed
and a decision made afterwards. The cause of Wagner's death is under
investigation with an autopsy being conducted .
