A trapper from the Yukon Territory, Canada, shot dead a grizzly bear on Monday afternoon after returning home after finding his wife and 10-month-old child, who had died of an apparent attack by a bear outside their cabin.
Yukon Coroner Services released details of this shocking incident on Tuesday.
According to a press release, the RCMP in Mayo, near the border with the Northwest Territories, received a call around 3:45 pm from a man who had trapped in the Lake Einarson area.
The trapper, Gjermund Roesholt, was returning from his trapline after being accused by a grizzly bear about 100 meters from his family's cabin.
He shot and killed the bear.
Back at the cabin, he found the bodies of his wife and child just outside.
The coroners said the two men appeared to be out for a walk when they were killed between 10:00 and 15:00. On Monday.
In a tweet, the Yukon RCMP described the incident as "alleged attack by a bear".
The coroner's services identified the victims as Valérie Théorét, 37, and Adele Roesholt, 10 months. The three had lived in the Lake Einarson area for about three months.
Mayo RCMP, RCMP Forensic Section and the Yukon Government Department of the Environment participate in the coroner's inquest.
"Yukon Coroner Services extends its sincere condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Ms. Théorét and her child Adele," reads the press release.
