This supreme act of gallantry and masculine virtue took place at the Fort Severn First Nation on the shores of Hudson Bay in northern Ontario. BBC News reports that a polar bear attacked the man's wife. He responded by leaping on the bear, which then turned to attack him. The bear mauled the man's legs and one of his arms. A local hunter then shot the bear several times, which retreated into the woods and died.
This heroic husband is badly wounded but expected to survive.
A polar bear expert advises against lying down if attacked by a polar bear. You must fight back to have any chance to survive.

They were probably in the wrong place wrong time. If you know your in their territory stay out. A beautiful animal died when in its own element. Two humans almost died for not taking proper measures. Unfortunate for all.
