On July 8, 2020 at 08:56 AKDT, KNP&P Ranger Naomi Boad updated the bearcam community to inform them that a KNP&P employee that was fishing near the Downriver Island on the evening of July 7, 2020 observed 803's deceased cub.

"I know yesterday was a very difficult day. Seeing the trauma that both 803 and her cub went through is not easy. But coming together as a community to tell the story and to interpret the situation to give it context can help us all heal.
I do have an update. Last night many of you observed someone fishing on the downriver island where the cub was last seen. That angler was an NPS staffer and he reported that he found the body of a dead spring cub at the location where we last saw it. Bear management and park resources are deciding today what they will do next. Once I know, I will tell all of you.
I am heartbroken to bring you this news, but I don’t think it is a surprise to anyone. This is painful because we care for these bears so much. But it is part of life — theirs and ours. And what a privilege to be a witness to the lives of these incredible animals. Hang in there."
On July 8,, 2020 at 11:34 AKDT , KNP&P Ranger Naomi Boak updated the bearcam community again.:
"An update from bear management. Since you will probably see it here on the lower river, law enforcement and bear management are going to pick up the dead cub from the downriver island, to bring it to a spot less trafficked by humans and bears. It will be laid to rest in a natural spot. Because the death was likely due to "natural causes," no necropsy will be done. If bear management notices anything unusual, they will let me know and of course, I will tell you."
