Bear kills Suncor employee, 36, on oil sands site in northern Alberta

A Suncor employee has been mauled to death by a black bear at an oil sands site in Canada, as her helpless co-workers watched in horror. Lorna Weafer, 36, was dragged from her seven colleagues and brutally attacked yesterday while she was doing electrical work at the remote Fort McMurray, Alberta site. Her work mates, who weren't carrying bear spray, blasted air horns to scare the animal away, but couldn't save the instrument technician. 'People tried to stop it and do everything they could,' union spokesman Scott Doherty told CBC News. 'Obviously, they are fairly horrified at what they saw and witnessed.'
