A mother and her baby daughter were mauled to death by a grizzly bear while spending maternity leave at a remote Canadian cabin.
Canadian school teacher Valerie Theoret and her 10-month-old daughter Adele Roesholt were out for a walk near their cabin when a grizzly bear attacked and killed them.
When Valerie’s boyfriend returned the same bear attacked him as well but he was able to shot and kill the animal.
Gjermund Roesholt approached the cabin after being attacked and found the bodies of his girlfriend and baby, according to the Daily Mail.
The Yukon Coroner’s Office stated in a press release the 37-year-old mother and baby were likely attacked sometime between 10am and 3pm Monday (local time).
Valerie’s friend Remy Beaupre told the station she had been on maternity leave and the family spent the last three months at the cabin, engaging in animal trapping.
They bought the cabin three years ago near Einarson Lake, planning to spend as much time there as possible.
Her family friend said they both had a lot of experience surviving in the wilderness, loved the great outdoors and were well-prepared for emergencies.
