A couple who were found mauled to death by a bear had recorded the horror attack on video camera later found in their tent. Timothy Treadwell considered bears his friends and traveled to Alaska every summer for 13 years to spend months camping with the wild animals.
Next month marks the 19th anniversary of the death of the 46-year-old, who had had named all the grizzlies and would talk, play and even touch the mammals. Despite persistent warnings from worried friends and family, the former heroin addict considered himself one of the animals and insisted they were simply misunderstood creatures.
However, tragedy stuck one one stormy October evening when, just hours before he was due to board a seaplane to head home for the winter, he was brutally attacked by one of the bears. His girlfriend Amie Huguenard, 37, watched on in terror as the animal clamped its jaws around Timothy's head - before turning on her.
