Man Apparently Tries to Commit Suicide by Plunging Over Niagara Falls… but Lives

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (The Blaze/AP) — A man has plunged at least 180 feet over Niagara Falls in an apparent suicide attempt.

The unidentified man was only the third person known to have gone over the falls without a safety device and lived.

Niagara Parks Police say witnesses reported seeing the man climb over a railing at 10:20 a.m. Monday and “deliberately jump” above Horseshoe Falls and into the Niagara River. He surfaced in the river basin near an observation platform.
