People used to make fun of the size of my nose... but I eventually grew into it!👃

According to Vancouver Courier, Mr Gamble’s fellow YouTuber Alexey Lyakh and his partner Megan Scraper were also killed instantly. 

The publication also reports the high-profile bloggers passed away while trying to save Scraper, who had slipped and fallen into one of the pools.

Meanwhile, a reported fourth friend witnessed the incident and ran down the mountain to find help.

Corporal Sascha Banks of Canada’s federal police service revealed the victims were in their 20s and 30s and were swimming in a pool system at the top of the falls “and then walking along the ledge shortly thereafter”. All three of the deceased fell almost 30 metres.

Gamble's partner Alissa Hensen posted a tribute to the social media star and shared an outpouring of her grief.

"One moment a wave of catastrophic emotions, the next a cavern of emptiness," she wrote.

"Death is not a request to stop living, it is a request for loving."

Grief seems to bring everything to a halt. What was once possible seems irrelevant. The schedule is cleared, the mundane ignored. One moment a wave of catastrophic emotions, the next a cavern of emptiness. Death is not a request to stop living, it is a request for loving. It calls us to see fully what is in front of us. To see what needs healing. To see those for whom our hearts would break if we did not speak the words that need speaking. It asks us to tend to one another. To value this moment here and now. To face our own ephemerality. Death violently shakes us awake, time and time again. Words by @heyheatherobscura. . The only words I have right now to share are from my dear soul sister Heather. May we all send prayers to their souls as they transition.

Sending love to the friends and family of the three tourists.
