A mother and her 19-year-old daughter were killed and missing after a suspected grizzly bear attack in Bella Coola, British Columbia. Emergency responders confirmed one person died at the scene and another remains missing. The incident occurred in a remote area of the community, where officials are still searching for the missing individual.
Authorities have not yet confirmed the bear’s involvement, but local reports suggest a large black bear was seen near the location. The mother, identified as a local resident, was found dead at the scene, while her daughter is still unaccounted for. Search teams are using helicopters and ground crews to locate the missing person.
This is the second reported grizzly bear attack in the region this year. In March, a hiker was seriously injured after a bear attack in the same area. Wildlife officials have warned of increased bear activity due to changing weather patterns and habitat shifts. The incident has raised concerns among residents about safety in the area.
