Sad 🐻😢 Black bear dies from injuries on Sunshine Coast BC Canada 🇨🇦 Anna Miller. KIND and Respectful ONLY Please! 👇

""The bear was hit on Marine Drive close to Soames Road in Gibsons on Sunday September 14, 2025.

When I went down to the beach, a first nations native man was coming back from the deceased bear and he just did a ceremony for her. Drumming and brushed cedar boughs over her body. I believe that symbolizes a purification, and to help transition her spirit.

When I got to the bear I did my own little ceremony and placed flowers on her body.

The accident was unavoidable - the bear just bolted out and the man couldn’t stop.

After the bear was hit she kept running and smashed through a fence panel, and I guess made her way down to the beach where she died of internal injuries. So so sad.

The man was quite shaken and called RCMP and waited on the side of the road for them to show up.

The RCMP searched the properties, but could not find the bear that evening.""
