Japanese police officers looking for an angler who went missing at a lake in Hokkaido, have discovered a human head in the area, which they suspect may have been attacked by a bear. Toshihiro Nishikawa, 54, was dropped off by a boat on Lake Shumarinai in Horokanai on Sunday to fish alone, and a bear was then seen nearby with clothing in its mouth. A team was sent to hunt bears, and a member of the team killed one; the human remains were then found close by.
