According to reports, the Banff field unit received an alert from a GPS device on Friday evening at approximately 8 p.m., coming from the Red Deer River Valley. The alert indicated a bear attack; and while a team that is specially trained in wildlife attacks was mobilized, weather conditions did not allow a helicopter to be used.
The response team reached the area by 1 a.m., finding two individuals who were dead. The team also encountered a grizzly who was aggressive and was ultimately euthanized.
Currently, the Red Deer and Panther valleys are closed off. The closure is from Snow Creek Summit east to the National Park boundary, and north to Shale Pass. According to the Parks Canada website, it is due to a 'grizzly bear in the area.'
In recent weeks there have been several bear encounters in both Banff National Park and provincial parks across the province.
The deceased were identified as Shanta Akter, 22, daughter of Rahmat Ali, and Sadia Akter, 12, daughter of Rubel Miah, residents of Satiyan area in the upazila.
Locals said a thunderbolt struck three people in Shimulghar area at around 5:30 pm while they were returning after having lunch of invitation, leaving the two dead on the spot and Shanta's mother Sharmin injured.
She was, later, taken to Madhabpur Upazila Health Complex.
The health complex doctor Md Rafiqul Islam said Shanta and Sadia had died before being brought there.
The giant marine mammal was spotted on South Beach by 10.15 on Saturday morning.
"The carcass, which started to decompose looks more than 2 days old", said a fisherman who spotted the dead whale in the morning.
A huge number of people including children are visiting the spot to take a glance at the giant whale.

A private helicopter crashed into the sea in northern Evia, east of the Greek capital Athens, and a search and rescue operation was underway.
It was not immediately clear what caused the accident.
"The private helicopter, an A-109 type, was en route to Volos city with at least one person on board," a civil aviation official told Reuters.
More than 250 people have been evacuated from the area since Storm Elias struck on Wednesday afternoon, the fire brigade said on Thursday, adding that it had so far received 1,200 calls for help.
The storm hit Volos with rain so heavy that water levels in the city and its suburbs rose rapidly in a few hours. A nearby stream overflowed, adding to the flooding.
