I was not there either. But, the game commission is very strict about baiting and about feeding bears. They knew the history of this bear and conducted an investigation. I would assume this guy was pretty far from the man's house.
The other thing I can add as a PA bear hunter is this: if I see a bear in the woods, I say "holy crap!!!! There's actually a bear!!!!!". Just seeing a bear is huge. There is no time to decide whether it's a fed bear. You shoot now, or wait another 50 years for lightning to strike again.
