TOKYO, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- A man was found dead with head and other injuries on Saturday in the forested mountainous area in central Japan's Nagano prefecture, likely mauled by a bear, local police said.

Police said they received an emergency call before 6 p.m. on Friday that an acquaintance who went to check up on the boar trap had not returned home.
