A worker was killed by polar bears at a remote Canadian site in August 2024 despite safety warnings.
Christopher Best, a 34-year-old worker from Labrador, was killed by polar bears at a remote radar site on Brevoort Island, Nunavut, on August 8, 2024, while cleaning a fuel tank.
He had photographed bears from a vehicle earlier and expressed confidence in his safety despite warnings.
Surveillance footage showed a second bear blocked his escape, leading to a coordinated attack.
A federal report cited safety gaps, including missing training records, inadequate fencing, and no post-hours protocols, recommending improved communication and barriers.
A substance near the scene likely did not attract the bears.
The investigation remains ongoing, and Best’s family seeks full transparency.
