A BEAR FAMILY KILLED THE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER
According to the BBC report, in a statement from the British Columbia Conservation Officer Service, it was stated that the investigation into the bear attack that caused the deaths of 48-year-old Jennifer Balcarras and her 20-year-old daughter Selah Reed in the province's Bella Coola region earlier this month had been concluded.
As a result of forensic examinations and DNA tests conducted within the scope of the investigation, it was determined that the attack was carried out by a mother grizzly bear and her 3 cubs.
