Bear Attack Survivor Left Chilling Farewell Note To Wife After Collecting Pieces Of His Own Flesh

A Canadian man who miraculously survived a brutal bear attack revealed that he had written what he thought would be his final words to his family, moments after finding pieces of his own flesh scattered around him.The terrifying ordeal unfolded on August 24, 2017, when Jeremy Evans set out into the woods of Alberta in hopes of hunting a ram.

Instead of spotting his intended prey, the maintenance supervisor unexpectedly crossed paths with a grizzly bear — an encounter that almost cost him his life.

While in the forest, Jeremy noticed what he described as ‘a little brown thing’ dart across his path, just a few feet away from where he was standing. At first, he thought little of it until he quickly realized it was not a ram but a bear cub.In a later interview, Jeremy recalled how he immediately reached for his bear spray tucked inside his backpack. Before he could get it out, however, the cub’s mother emerged, ready to protect her young.

Panicked and desperate, Jeremy hurled his bicycle at the bear in an attempt to scare her off. The effort made contact but left him with deep wounds in his hand from the struggle.

The bear retreated briefly, only to return moments later with even greater aggression. Jeremy bolted and scrambled up a nearby tree in a desperate attempt to escape.But before he could climb to safety, the mother bear latched onto his right leg, dragging him down. He recalled the horrific moment to the Daily Mail, saying“My left eye was hanging out of the socket. It was facing down. In order to really see, I either had to lift up my eye or lean my head way back.”

“I remember feeling my face and nothing felt the same. My jaw was hanging down on the left side and all my teeth were exposed.”Once the bear eventually left, Jeremy collapsed to the ground, his body torn apart. Nearly blinded by his injuries, he forced himself to crawl through the thick woods until he located his backpack and firearm.

On the ground, he found gruesome reminders of the attack — his moustache, part of his goatee, a section of his face, and even his ear, all torn away by the bear’s assault.

Believing he would not make it out alive, Jeremy took out his phone and began typing what he thought would be his final goodbyes to his wife.“Whoever finds this please let my wife know I tried to make it,” one heartbreaking message read. “But there is [no] chance, that bear really [f***ed] me up.”

In another, he added: “I am pretty sure this is the end. I am very tired and I feel like I am going to pass out. If I do I won’t wake up.”

Since the attack, Jeremy has endured five major surgeries along with 15 additional minor medical procedures to rebuild what the bear destroyed. Yet, the emotional wounds proved just as lasting as the physical ones.He developed severe PTSD in the aftermath and has spent years in therapy, trying to recover mentally from the nightmare that changed his life forever.
