One dead and another missing in suspected grizzly bear attack in Canada

The incident took place in the same province where a grizzly attacked a group of schoolchildren last November

A mother is dead and her daughter is missing in western Canada after a suspected grizzly bear attack in the same community where a bear attacked a group of schoolchildren earlier in the year.

On Tuesday, the British Columbia Conservation Officer Service said in a social media post that it had launched a search for the two missing people on the weekend, and that during the search on Sunday an officer found the mother’s body. The search for her 19-year-old daughter is ongoing.
