A friend of the deceased posts on another board I belong too:

My friend Stephan Miller was killed today while working with Rocky the Grizzly at Predators in Action. Stephan "Gunslinger" Miller grew up working with wild animals. He produced movies and published Girls N Corpses magazine. Ive known Stephan for a couple of years and anytime he needed security for the girls he called me. We were going to get together this weekend at Fangoria's weekend of Horrors and discuss a movie idea and I was going to let him buy dinner (as usual). All of us are in shock. Stephan loved Rocky (the bear). I actually guarded Rockys cage the day of the Will Farrell shoot. That Grizzly has licked my face so this is all very surreal. They were saying on the news that its usual for them to put down an animal once it has attacked. I think it would break Stephan's heart if they did that.
Rest in Peace Bro...gonna miss ya.
I havent been able to get a hold of Randy yet...hes not taking calls...but He and Stephan are more like brothers then cousins. This has been their lives for many many years. Stephan was one of the mellowest most unassuming people have ever met in 'the business'. His passions were animals and making movies (scary). He was a big kid with a big heart.
Im afraid that the bear just got carried away. Rocky and Stephan were wrestling from what I understand and even a love bite from a 700 lb bear can be fatal.
I honestly dont know though. Stephan would never abuse or taunt Rocky so I just dont know.
Hey guys, thanks for teh well wishes but Im really hoping youll keep Stephans wife and kids in heart and prayers. I just got off the phone with another mutual friend and everyone is pretty much in shock. As I said we were all supposed to be at Stephans booth this weekend at Fango. As Stephen was the co-publisher of the mag we're all kind of at a loss right now. Obviously if the family decides theres going to be a memorial this weekend then that will take precedence. From what I was just told on the phone Stephan had only driven up to the compound for the day. I wasnt aware of a shoot coming up so at this point I dont know why he was working with Rocky. He planned on being back today and prepping for Fango. Right now Im jsut praying for his wife and kids. Needless to say those of us that worked with him and around him are all in a holding pattern right now. Again, I appreciate the well wishes but lets direct them all to his family right now. I know Randy is devastated and in shock right now.
Its funny but when we had Rocky at dark Delicasies in Burbank it was the day of the Will Farrell semi Pro shoot at Dodgers stadium. I was with Stephan at Dark D. when Randy showed up with the trailer with rocky in it. Rocky was very sweet and both Bai Ling and Alana Curry got their 'bear kiss'. However when some folks came outside with some cake Rocky immediately stood up and started shaken teh chain link on teh trailer. I backed everyone off and Randy and Stephan shut the doors. Rocky went from cuddly to hungry and when he started shaking that chain link I felt VERY vulnerable. You KNEW he could take that chainlink out without trying. My guess is something during the wrestling got him excited but until Randy says exactly what happened its all speculative. Rocky is cute but he is an apex predator. I have a nice pic of Stephan and Rocky from that event. How do I post it?
Tragic either way. RIP Stephan. My prayers go out for your family.
