A Minnesota woman was fatally mauled by a black bear after going to check on her dogs while at a cabin on a secluded Canadian island just north of Minnesota, police said.

Catherine Sweatt-Mueller — who was staying on Red Pine Island on Rainy Lake in Ontario with her parents — was killed after leaving the cabin at about 6 p.m. Sunday to find out what was disturbing her two barking dogs, Provincial Police Constable Jim Davis said.

“The dogs returned, but she did not,” Davis told The Post. “The victim’s mother, who is 84, called police at that point because she was concerned for her daughter’s well-being.”

Responding cops who arrived on the island about 30 minutes later had trouble locating the 62-year-old woman initially, but soon found her body beneath the bear, which was estimated to be about 180 pounds, authorities said.

“She was obviously deceased and there was one bear standing over top of her acting aggressively, so it was shot and killed by the officers,” Davis said.

Two other bears, believed to be a sow and a yearling, were also spotted nearby and were showing signs of hostility by making loud snorting sounds and repeatedly stomping their feet, Davis said.

Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry will now determine what steps — if any — will be taken against the two other bears.

There’s no ongoing threat to the public and other people on Red Pine Island were notified of the fatal attack. The cabin where Sweatt-Mueller, of Maple Plain, had been staying was the only residence on the island, police said in a statement.

It’s unclear if the bear had rabies or was malnourished. A necropsy will be conducted, according to Davis, who said he couldn’t recall a fatal bear attack in Ontario in the last decade.

“I can’t think of the last time a human was killed by a bear here,” Davis said.

Attempts to reach relatives of Sweatt-Mueller on Wednesday were unsuccessful.
