Mother and daughter both killed in grizzly bear attack, Canadian authorities confirm

Conservation officers say the women reported missing over the weekend, were found near a trail near their home

Search teams in Canada have discovered the body of a 20-year-old woman and confirmed that both she and her mother were killed in an attack that conservation officers now believe could have involved multiple grizzly bears.

Late on Tuesday, conservation officers in British Columbia said the two women, who were reported missing over the weekend, were located near a trail a short distance from their home.

The discovery has shaken a community where, earlier in the year, a grizzly attacked a group of schoolchildren and their teachers.
