HELENA, Mont. - Montana wildlife officials have released the name of the man who was killed by a grizzly bear at a campground near Yellowstone National Park.

Fish, Wildlife and Parks spokesman Ron Aasheim says the body of 48-year-old Kevin Kammer of Grand Rapids, Mich., was found in his tent at the Soda Butte campground near Cooke City early Wednesday.

Kammer was believed to have been killed by an adult female grizzly bear that has been captured.

The woman who was injured in the attack is Deb Freele of London, Ontario. Authorities have identified the third victim of a bear attack in a campground near Yellowstone National Park as a 21-year-old man from Colorado.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials say Ronald Singer, of Alamosa, Colo., was bitten in the attacks early Wednesday and

Hospital officials said Thursday that Singer was treated and released.
