LITTLEROCK \u2013 The young male bear that made headlines last week for wandering through a Baldwin Park neighborhood was found dead just outside the front door of a Littlerock home this morning, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Officials received the call around 11 a.m. from a home near East Avenue U-5 and 86th<\/sup> Street East in Littlerock.<\/p>\n

A man inside the home told deputies that one of his neighbors called him and told him there was a bear on his front porch. \u201cI looked out the window and I seen it and I called the cops,\u201d the man said.<\/p>\n

Fish and Wildlife officials soon responded to the scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of our very experienced game wardens went out there and after investigating it and making sure that it wasn\u2019t a danger, they approached the bear and they realized that it was dead\u2026 with injuries consistent with an automobile crash,\u201d said Andrew Hughan of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. \u201cIt could have happened at any time over the last 12 hours. Bears are unbelievably strong, and even if it was hit by a car, it tried to get itself somewhere off the road and ended up on this porch and died.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hughan said the department was familiar with the bear, having had a previous encounter just last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a 275-pound, 3-year-old male bear,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is the same bear that was down in Baldwin Park Friday morning that we captured.\u201d<\/p>\n

After authorities spotted the bear roaming around a Baldwin Park neighborhood early Friday morning (Oct. 11), the bear was tranquilized, loaded into a pickup truck and released deep into the Angeles National Forest, according to the LA Times<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took off from where we released it and was looking for food, and unfortunately, probably wandered out onto the road,\u201d Hughan said. \u201cIt\u2019s always sad when a bear gets killed like this, especially a good-sized bear who was essentially a teenager\u2026 It\u2019s sad for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n
