The company of deceased worker Christopher Best says he was taking photographs of a polar bear at a remote worksite in Nunavut when he was attacked and killed by a pair of bears last year.
Best, 34, was working at a radar site on Brevoort Island, Nunavut, when he was killed Aug. 8 of last year after being attacked by two polar bears. His death followed seven decades with no known injuries or deaths from bears, according to a report issued by his employer Nasittuq Corporation, which runs North Warning System radar sites from the east of Labrador to the Yukon.
