\u0027I waited, and I stayed on the line two minutes, and I called her name and I said, \u0022Hello,\u0022 and I got no response\u0027

Esquirol says Blais sent her son into the cabin for the satellite phone’s antenna to improve reception at the remote lake, and seconds later he heard a gurgling noise and then couldn’t get a response.

Blais was pronounced dead by medical personnel after she was flown out of the area, and police have said Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Environment would conduct an investigation.“I waited, and I stayed on the line two minutes, and I called her name and I said, ‘Hello,’ and I got no response. So then I called back and let it ring four minutes later, and I got no response,” Esquirol recounted.

“And seven minutes later Curtis called me that the bear had attacked Stephanie, he pepper-sprayed the bear, shot the bear twice, he attended to Stephanie and gave her CPR, but by that time she had no pulse.” Esquirol said he then contacted a friend who was a seaplane operator, who picked up Blais from McKie Lake and brought her back to Buffalo Narrows.How to protect yourself from all the bears — and why you shouldn't always play dead“Elie has many cousins his age so he’s got company. Uma knows that her mother was attacked by a bear, I don’t know if she knows that her mother is dead, but she knows that her mother was attacked,” Esquirol said.

“She’s quite bright for a two-year-old, and I suspect that she knows that her mother will never come back.”

Fatal Sask. bear attack victim was on phone with father when she was killedHubert Esquirol was on the phone with his daughter, 44-year-old Stephanie Blais, the moment she was fatally attacked by a black bear Thursday afternoon. So very tragic. Another death caused by the cell phone. Maybe if she wasn’t blabbering on the phone like a typical woman she would’ve never been killed by a bear. Christ that's horrible.
