She had been suffering from complications of the respiratory system. Begin, who was very close to his wife, had postponed his trip to the U.S. several times in order to remain by her side.

Boo-Boo had escaped from the pen she shares with Yogi, the other bear that Turner keeps for his children on their 5,000-acre South Carolina plantation. Away on business, Turner has missed the ensuing ten-day bear hunt, which by week's end had resulted in only two uneventful sightings.
