Victims in fatal Banff bear attack identified as Lethbridge couple
LETHBRIDGE, AB – A family member of the couple killed by a grizzly bear in the wilderness of Banff National Park said he knew something was terribly wrong as soon as he received a call with a message from their satellite device.
Colin Inglis said his nephew, Doug Inglis, and Jenny Gusse, both 62, from Lethbridge, died in the bear attack on the weekend. Their seven-year-old border collie named Tris was also killed.
The longtime couple, he said, was on a weeklong backpacking trip in the area and had been checking in daily with him and Gusse’s mom.
