It's only a third-party story so I certainly vouch for its accuracy, but I've now heard that the bear was investigating the smell of urine (a territory marking thing, I should think) because the boy had wet himself inside his sleeping bag.

He most likely wet himself when he woke up and realized what was
happening. Or did the kid admit to wetting the bed before the attack?

My father-in-law was the person who had the motorboat and got Nick to the mainland. Eric Mets was his name and he passed away a couple of years ago. If anyone knows how we can get in touch with Nick it would be great as we would like to follow up with
him on his life since the attack.
