Canada: Man Killed by Bear in British Columbia
Picture from From facebook.com/wardho Ward and Jami
A young Canadian was killed in what appears to be a predatory black bear attack in British Columbia, near Mckenzie, Canada. From vancouverson.com:
O’Connor slept outdoors Saturday night while his fiancée slept in their motorhome. After O’Connor’s fiancée woke up Sunday she exited the motorhome, realized something was wrong and went to get help, said McLintock, in a news release.When RCMP and conservation officers arrived, they shot and killed one lone wolf and one male black bear that was about 300 pounds in weight.

The firepit that the wolf is sniffing around may be where Ward O’connor fell asleep. The video was taken from the couple’s motorhome. A visitor on facebook describes it as a van, so it is probably one of the smaller models. A commenter on the site sent an eerily prescient message. From facebook/jamiwallace:
Gabrielle Louisa Parker On my, what a scary and exciting experience. you guys have any weapons for protection?
The morning after the attack, Ward’s fiancee, Jami Wallace, found evidence of an attack. She follow a blood trail from the campsite, found the body, then returned to get help. Ward’s father rushed to the campsite, but could not get near the body because the bear was guarding its kill. From cbc.ca:
Danny O’Connor rushed to the campground and started searching through the bush for his son.
“I wanted to get out there and see if I could save him,” he said.
“When I got there the bear was there,” standing over his son’s body, he said. “I couldn’t go closer.”
It takes a brave man to rush to the scene of a man killing bear attack, unarmed. With the Canadian gun laws, it is likely that he was unable to borrow a gun from a neighbor. We can never know if a firearm could have been used to save Ward. The attack may have been so sudden as to prevent any resistance. Ms. Wallace has not mentioned that she heard any commotion in the night.
After officers arrived, they shot a lone wolf before they discovered the black bear. It is likely that the wolf was the one in the video. They shot the 300 pound bear a little later. Subsequent investigation showed that the attacking animal was a bear.
Bears are hungry this time of year; and a sleeping human smells a lot like an easy meal.
