CHIGNIK LAKE, Alaska - A spokesman for the Alaska Medical Examiner's office says an autopsy could be performed Thursday on the body of a teacher found dead outside Chignik Lake.

Thirty-two-year-old Candice Berner of Perryville was found dead Monday night off a road leading to the community's air strip. She was an itinerant special education teacher.

Alaska State Troopers have not commented on the cause of death but spokeswoman Megan Peters told the Anchorage Daily News the body showed signs of animal predation.

Chignik Lake is a community of about 105 people on the south side of the Alaska Peninsula, about 475 miles southwest of Anchorage.

Well, high tech Jim, read the Anchorage Daily News account and you can draw your own conclusions.

If this was a wolf caused human death, to my knowledge it would be the first one since they started keeping track back in the 1750's.

Feral dog maybe, or bear attack possibly, or wolf scavenging after death perhaps. But a wolf 'attack' of a human? Not likely. IMO.

Yahoo news reported this story in the early afternoon. They reported troopers saying that they were 99% certain death was from wolf attack.
