Alaska may have a mandate to investigate all bear attacks, but that would be the only true fact in these remarks. Grizzlies and Brown Bears get killed. A "brown bear" and a "black bear" are the same thing. There are different kinds, such as the COLOSSAL Kodiak bears. In my part of the world, brown bears are much smaller than that. Some are black. Most are cinnamon. Grizzlies are pretty darned big and, as we know, they are not gentle, peaceful bears. But the really BIG ones are those Kodiak bears. HUGE. I'm not sure if they are ever black. If so, then there are multiple colors of the same bear. Same with their smaller cousins here, further South. Some are brown, a few are black, they are the same bear.
