The couple killed by a bear in Banff were able to send an SOS text: 'Bear attack bad'
The two backpackers in Canada's Banff National Park seem to have emptied a can of bear spray, trying to get the animal to leave their camp. When rescuers arrived, the bear charged at them.
The two campers who died in a grizzly bear attack in Banff National Park in Canada were able to send a desperate message before succumbing to their injuries.
"Bear attack bad," the emergency message read, according to Colin Inglis, the uncle of Doug Inglis — who was found dead last weekend alongside his longtime partner, Jenny Gusse, and their dog.
The dire message was sent over a Garmin inReach satellite communicator last Friday night. It was received along with an SOS signal, triggered by someone holding the device's emergency button for three seconds.
"So one of them had entered that [text] into the inReach"
