Agonising final words of woman eaten alive by bear whilst on the phone to her mum

A woman eaten alive by a bear had some agonising final words while she was on the phone to her mum.

Olga Moskalyova was out for a walk with her stepdad, Igor Tsyganenkov, in August of 2011 when she ended up being tragically attacked.

After he had left a fishing rod by a river in the village of Termalniy, near Petropavlovsk Kamchatskiy in the east of Siberia, the pair had gone back to retrieve it.

But on this occasion, they became targets for a brown bear, that launched at them. The 19-year-old watched as the animal attacked her stepfather, crushing his skull and breaking his neck.

While Olga attempted to run away, the bear caught up and bit into her leg.

It was at this moment, in fighting for her life, that she decided to make a call to her mum, Tatiana.

“Mum, the bear is eating me! Mum, it’s such agony. Mum, help!” Olga said.

Her mum was so taken aback by the call, she initially thought the teen was joking, but told the Daily Mail: “Then I heard the real horror and pain in Olga's voice, and the sounds of a bear growling and chewing.”

Tatiana didn’t know at that point what had happened to Igor as she attempted to contact him and got no response.

Olga rang her mum a number of times and on the second call said: “Mum, the bears are back. She came back and brought her three babies. They’re... eating me."

Tatiana had attempted to get in touch with authorities and nearby family members, but no one managed to reach the scene in time to stop the attack.

And she received a final call from her daughter about an hour later, once the bears had left her for dead.

Tatiana heard the final words of her daughter in their last exchange: “Mum, it's not hurting any more. I don't feel the pain.

“Forgive me for everything, I love you so much.”

Igor’s brother, Andrei, eventually arrived there with police to find Olga dead and the mother bear feasting on the stepdad.

Emergency services ended up calling for hunters to kill the mother bear and her three cubs.

“My daughter was such fun. She was so cheerful, friendly, and warm,” Tatiana said following the loss of her daughter.

"She had graduated from music school, and just days before the bear attack, she got her driving ­licence."
