Jan. 2 (UPI) -- A woman in Colorado has died after a suspected mountain lion attack Thursday, officials said.
The woman's identity hasn't been released, but she is believed to have been hiking alone on the Crosier Mountain trail in Larimer County in northern Colorado.
"There were signs that this was consistent with a mountain lion attack but we can't say for sure," Kara Van Hoose, spokesperson with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, told reporters Thursday.
At about 12:15 p.m. MST, hikers reported they saw a mountain lion near a person lying on the ground about 100 yards away, according to a press release from Colorado Parks and Wildlife. They walked toward the scene and threw rocks to scare the lion away. They then tried to help the woman, but found no pulse.
