Yes, but it is tough to do.
A Bear Hug prevents the person from inhaling, or from inhaling deeply. If you can squeeze tight enough then you can force the person to pass out from lack of air. However, once you let go the person will start breathing again. A Bear Hug would only be fatal if you were strong enough to seriously restrict their breathing and then only if you held it on for quite a while after they passed out.

How many bear attacks in Alaska each year?
This is a list of known fatal bear attacks that occurred in North America by decade in reverse chronological order. In this list three species of bear are recognized: the Brown Bear (Ursus arctos), the American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) and the Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus). For purposes of this list, Brown Bear includes the Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), the Kodiak Bear and the Mexican Brown Bear. Between 1900 and 2003 there were about 52 recorded deaths due to black bears, 50 due to brown bears and 5 due to polar bears. The most recent data is the most reliable and complete, but does not necessarily include all fatal attacks that have occurred in North America. Prior to recent decades bear attacks were not well documented, particularly those which took place in isolated regions. As a result there were more attacks and fatalities than have been recorded as shown here, particularly in Canada and Alaska. Information provided by Wikipedia...
bears are so strong that when they hit the ground, it vibrates the ground 3 feet away.
No, they will eat elk and deer meat but not tigers. A bear will not normally attack a tiger. For one thing, tigers are not a part of any animals diet. Second, siberian tigers, the biggest cats on earth, would win against even the biggest grizzly bear! They are much more agile and powerful compared to their own bodies, then bears, so the tiger will most likely eat the bear!
Yes. Bears are carnivores and will kill tigers.
