What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the same basic event, the deaths of a Canadian mother and daughter in a suspected grizzly bear attack, and both mention the Bella Coola area. The Guardian US foregrounds authorities confirming the deaths and adds that conservation officers think more than one bear may have been involved, while Fox News centers the pair going missing on a hiking trail minutes from their home.
