A young mother and her 10-month-old daughter have been killed by a grizzly bear metres from their cabin in Canada’s Yukon territory.
Valérie Théorêt, 37, and her daughter Adele Roesholt, were killed on Monday near Einarson Lake, a remote area 400km from the territory’s capital of Whitehorse.
Théorêt, a grade six French immersion teacher at Whitehorse elementary school, was on maternity leave with her child. She and partner Gjermund Roesholt had planned to spend some of those months on their trap line – a large parcel of land leased from the government to trap animals for fur.
Roesholt had gone out to check the couple’s traps on Monday afternoon, but on his way back, he was charged by the bear, 100m from the couple’s cabin.
He shot and killed the bear, but when he reached the cabin he found that it had already killed his partner and their daughter.
“Upon returning to the cabin, he found the bodies of his wife and child just outside the cabin,” the coroner’s report said. It is believed the pair had been out for a walk – either late morning or early afternoon– when they were attacked by the same bear.

Canadian or not, why the hell would you take a 10 month old child to a bait house, under any circumstance.
Why the fuck are you blaming the bear? These people caused her own death by being inside the cabin, something that's a big no-no ESPECIALLY when she more than likely saw the fucking bear.
For someone who doesn't know about living in the wilderness with bears, why would you not want to be inside the cabin when there's a bear outside?
It's a meme but if you want my actual thoughts, the responsibility for this lies solely on the mother and father.
Being inside the cabin is definitely smarter than being outside the cabin, but they never should've taken their baby here in the first place.

Horrific.
Terrible thing to have happened.
Is 37 considered a young mother?
Too young to die, at least ...
Only young deaths are tragic so just call anyone who dies young.
I'm 20 years young, how 'bout you?
Interesting response.
