Why was the polar bear,that fatally injured a British young man, subsequently killed?

If you hadn’t heard about this tragedy, here is the story.
Does anybody know if the bear was killed during his attack on the youngsters, or afterwards?
In case of the first I can fully understand, but in the latter I would wonder why it was needed to do that.
As punishment? Revenge? To stop him from doing it again?
