According to The Sun and other foreign media, Christos Stavrianidis, a 61-year-old man, was hiking Mt. Fructos in Greece with his friend Dimitris and his dog in June.
Then, I came across a wild bear that suddenly appeared.
Stavrianidis, who was filming the video, turned to the bear and said "Where are you going? Come here!called ". He even asked his friend to throw pepper spray in case a bear came close.
When the bear hesitated, Stavrianidis began to cough, and upon hearing this, the bear suddenly rushed towards him.
The bear pushed him down the cliff, and his camera spun in the air and recorded the crash.
An autopsy confirmed that he died after hitting his head against a rock as he fell under the cliff.
Dimitris added of the situation at the time "I was too surprised to respond when the bear approached Stavrianidis."
Later, when the dog barked, the bear stopped attacking, and using the gap, Dimitris took out pepper spray and chased the bear away.
Shortly after the accident, he shouted to check whether his friend survived, but there was no response.
The tragic accident reawakens how dangerous contact with wild animals can be, emphasizing the importance of alertness and safety equipment when hiking.
