Fatal Elk Attack Claims Woman's Life in Arizona

An Arizona woman has died after being trampled by an elk in the Hualapai Mountains. The incident occurred on October 26, but the Arizona Game and Fish Department only learned about it the following day. The victim's husband found her injured in their backyard and she was later placed in a medically induced coma. The Clark County Medical Examiner's office deemed the incident to be an accident. This is believed to be the first fatal elk attack in Arizona, although there have been five reported elk attacks in the past five years. The department warns against feeding wildlife, as it can lead to habituation and conflicts with humans.
