Bear Attack lawsuit

ASHLEY FRANSCELL/Daily Herald Rebecca Ives, mother of Samuel Ives, who was killed in June 2007 of a bear attack while camping in American Fork Canyon, and Tim Mulvey, Samuel's stepfather, talk about the order of events the night of their son's death during a press conference Friday, March 28, 2008 in Provo. Rebecca Ives and her husband Tim Mulvey, Kevan Frances, Samuel's biological father and Jack Mulvey, Samuel's younger brother, have filed two lawsuits for the death of Sam Ives. Attorney Allen Young said one lawsuit is against the state of Utah and Division of Wildlife Resources that the state failed to warn potential users of the imminent danger of a "Level III" nuisance black bear and the other in Federal district court against Forest service agents that they failed to notify potential users of a "Level III" nuisance black bear.
