Anthony Pollio<\/span><\/span>, a 33-year-old Catholic deacon believed to have been killed in a bear attack at Glacier National Park<\/span><\/span>, left an emotional voicemail for his father shortly before his death.<\/p>\n

Pollio was found dead on May 6 near the Mt. Brown Trail with injuries consistent with a bear attack. His father, Arthur Pollio, said investigators believe Anthony encountered a grizzly bear and used all of his bear spray before the fatal attack.<\/p>\n

Before his death, Anthony called and texted his father while hiking, telling him, \u201cDad, I\u2019m hiking up a mountain. It\u2019s wild out here,\u201d before ending with, \u201cI love you, dad.\u201d It was the last message his father received.<\/p>\n

Arthur described his son as fearless, experienced outdoorsman who loved hiking, hunting, and traveling across national parks. Anthony had recently visited places including Grand Canyon National Park<\/span><\/span>, Yellowstone National Park<\/span><\/span>, and Mount Rushmore National Memorial<\/span><\/span> during a cross-country trip.<\/p>\n

If confirmed, the incident would mark the first fatal bear attack in Glacier National Park since 1998. Authorities continue to investigate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
