WHITEHORSE—Tests will be performed on the body of a grizzly bear to try to find out why it killed a woman and her 10-month-old daughter in Yukon earlier this week. Environment Yukon spokeswoman Roxanne Stasyszyn says it’s hoped the examination will offer some clues about what motivated the grizzly to attack Valerie Theoret and her baby on Monday near their cabin northeast of Mayo. After a deadly attack on a woman and her 10-month old daughter earlier this week, tests will be performed on the body of the grizzly bear who attacked them. Stasyszyn says Environment Yukon, the coroner’s service and the RCMP continue to investigate. Stasyszyn did not comment on when or where the examination, called a necropsy, will take place, but she said Environment Yukon is committed to providing more details as soon as the investigation concludes.
