GERMANTOWN, TN -

(WMC) - A Mid-South man is dead after he was attacked by a grizzly bear.


A Germantown businessman was attacked in Norman Wells, Canada, located in the Northwest Territories of the country. People familiar with the attack say Ken Novotny had just killed a moose when the bear charged him.


Novotny's guide told investigators that the victim was prepping the dead moose to be taken out of a wooded area when the bear came out of nowhere and struck Novotny in the head. The guide was not injured.


Novotny hunted often and was a managing director at Raymond James, the company formerly known as Morgan Keegan. WMC Action News 5 reached out to his family members Monday, but they were too upset to do an interview.


Friends say family members want to have a memorial service but are still waiting for Novotny's body to be sent back to Memphis.


Immediately after the attack, officers began searching for the bear but so far they have not found it.
