THREE Canadian Youtube travel bloggers have died after falling over a waterfall in British Columbia.

Ryker Gamble, Alexey Lyakh and Megan Scraper were part of High On Life, a video blog group that posts videos of their travel adventures on social media.

The trio had finished swimming at the top of Shannon Falls in Squamish, British Columbia on Tuesday when they slipped and fell into a pool 100ft below, local police said.

The difficult terrain meant it took the Squamish Royal Canadian Mounted Police force two days to find and recover the adventurer­s’ remains.

In a video tribute, the High On Life group, which has more than one million Instagram followers and more than 500,000 Youtube subscriber­s, praised them as “three of the warmest, kindest and most driven and outgoing people you could ever meet.”

In one of his most recent Instagram posts, 30-year-old Mr Gamble wrote: “Life isn’t about responsibi­lities, tough decisions and hard work, it’s about feeling bliss and living in the moment.”
