The online community has continued to mourn influencers Stacey Tourout and Matthew Yeomans after their deaths in August.
Kaslo Search and Rescue (SAR) confirmed the deaths of the couple, who ran the YouTube channel Toyota World Runners, claiming that rescuers were called to the scene of an off-road motor vehicle accident on August 7 around 7:30 local time.
“So it was on a forestry road, somewhere in the mountains, and quite a long ways north in the valley up towards … the village of Trout Lake,” Mark Jennings-Bates, a manager of the Kaslo SAR, told Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), noting that rescuers had an accurate location for the incident.
He continued, “Our teams were able to get to them efficiently. It’s a long journey, but they got there efficiently. So that was very, very helpful. And of course that means that the helicopter pilot could also fly straight to the destination with confidence that he was going to find them.”
