Penguins forward Andrei Kuzmenko’s father, Alexander Kuzmenko, is killed in a bear attack during a fishing trip in Russia’s Republic of Tuva. Reports say he was attacked in a remote, restricted area while fishing, and he dies from the injuries.
Both outlets describe the incident as occurring near the Mongolian border and involve a bear attack while the victim is on a trip away from major population centers. Fox News notes that the father is a longtime hockey coach, while The Athletic identifies his age as 62. The coverage focuses on confirming the death and providing basic background about his role and whereabouts at the time of the attack. No outlet provides details about whether authorities have detained or identified the bear.
