The tragic death of environmentalist documentary filmmaker Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend Amie Huguenard, has come in the news once more, years after their death in 2003. It seems that an audio of the fatal encounter between the couple and a pair of grizzly bears, had survived the onslaught, that had killed Timothy and Amie.

Jewel Pavolak, a friend of Timothy, has in her possession an audio tape of the final moments of the couple’s life. However, Pavolak has no plans of releasing the exclusive audio tape.

Timothy Treadwell, a grizzly bears enthusiast, had been amidst the grizzly bears in the Katmai National Park in Alaska for well over 13 seasons. He had lived among the bears in the park for documenting his observations and filming their lives. However, at the end of the 13th season in October of 2003, while Timothy and Amie were visiting the national park, they were attacked by one or most possibly two (we will never know for sure) bears at their campsite. In the encounter with the wild beats, the two were killed and partially devoured.

It was reported that the Katmai National Park rangers had shot down the male grizzly bear (that weighed 450 kg) which was supposed to have been responsible for the twin deaths. It was a very unfortunate incident, going by the fact that Timothy used to live among the bears like they were his house pets. He had once told bear scientists that he welcomed ‘death by bear’, in fact considering it an honor to be killed and eaten by one. Seems he almost got his wish fulfilled.
