  "account": "A mother and daughter were found dead near a hiking trail in western Canada, suspected to be the result of a grizzly bear attack, according to authorities in British Columbia. The pair had gone for a walk near their home close to Bella Coola when they failed to return home, prompting relatives to report them missing on Sunday. Provincial conservation authorities confirmed a suspected fatal grizzly bear attack, stating that the first victim was discovered on Monday and the second victim found a day later. It remains unclear if more than one bear was involved in the incident, but any bear found to be responsible will be killed. A school group was also attacked by a bear in the same area last November, resulting in injuries to eleven people, some of whom suffered serious injuries. Grizzly bears can become more aggressive during this time of year as they prepare to build up fat reserves before hibernation.",
