@PhantomSticky who wrote, "Not a suicide? The dude hopped over the railing, ran up to the river and jumped in face first. The family can believe whatever they want, but it doesn't get much more suicidal than that."
A: In terms of suicide similar to (a) an intoxicated person drives, crashes and dies, and called a suicide rather than a car accident, then YES; or (b) In terms of suicide by willfull act with no meds or psychological issues does an act which causes death then, No.
I live in Niagara Falls and worked at the park. I was cutting grass 50 feet from this incident. The authorities hide it but 40-50 people jump into the Falls to commit suicide on a yearly basis on both sides of the border. This man intentionally hopped the railing, ran to the water and dived in. He was from the area and knew the risks well. This unfortunate incident was a suicide plain and simple !!!
@metaletech ... as far as official known deaths, they provide a number which is far less. However, it certainly does not include unconfirmed deaths where the body isn't recovered. Years ago, the NY Times published suicides at the Falls. It is interesting to read some of the descriptions and notes left behind and the back-stories of those who perished.
@95dmario wrote, "I regret this immmmmmmedddiatelyyyyyyyyyy......"
Cmt: Many people who fail in dying as a result of their suicide attempt, say later that the regretted the act while it was in progress, such as, while heading toward the water after jumping off the Golden Gate bridge. Most people who use these "point of no return" methods die, so the statements of those who lived is somewhat the only knowledge anyone has about it. Suicide is normally an act of desperation for help.
@BlGGlE, who wrote "I wonder how many bodies they might recover if they drained all the water."
Reply from Tommy, "Bodies usually get pushed out to the river due to the pressure of the water, within days. Otherwise, churning generally destroys remaining bodies. In 1969 the Army Corps of Engineers drained the Tonawanda (American) Channel (June-Nov), stopping water over the Rainbow Fall aka American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls aka Luna Falls, for repairs and survey; some remains were found.
@beentheredonethatb4 - ref: Of course it was a suicide. The man was a pharmacist. He would know what kind of medication he was taking and the effects. Also if he lived in Tonawanda, that is a 20-30 minute drive to Niagara Falls and after driving that distance, somehow he "accidentally" walks into the water and goes over the Falls by accident?
Reply: Nobody says it's an accident. Over medicated is not a normal state of mind - different than alcohol but both are impairments to self control.
@TONYALLENSUCKS - I was contacted by his family. He was on meds. They think he was playing and jumped in like any pool or calm lake. It is believed he somehow over medicated and was not fully cognizant of his actions at the time he jumped in the water. His family firmly believes this was not a willful suicide act.
@TommyIsH080625 Why would the family contact you? As I recall this happened quite some time ago. Your profile says you are 24. You would have been a child when this occured.
ref: @TommyIsH080625 Why would the family contact you? As I recall this happened quite some time ago. Your profile says you are 24. You would have been a child when this occured.
I can only speak to my understanding of why, from messages we exchanged. She was upset I originally called it a suicide - which implies deliberate understanding. Yes, this occurred around 1985. The woman contacted me on here, after I posted this here. YouTube did not even exist in 1980s.
@TommyIsH080625 I think families make up excuses because they don't want to believe a loved one commits suicide. What kind of medication was he on? Anti-depressants? Anti-psychotics? People who go over Niagra Falls, jump off of the Empire State Building or Golden Gate Bridge are usually mentally ill.
@darlingdino I understand what you're saying. There are various issues. Extreme decisions are often due to physical or emotional pain and fear. That pain and fear can lead to depression, an illness, and it can induce behaviour that isn't the most healthy; and isn't thought-out, such as suicide resulting from intense bullying or imbalanced medication. Suicide due to physical pain and fear: people jumping from the twin towers. Medical suicide in a terminal illness is often more thought out.
@TommyIsH080625 That's true, it had to be chronic depression and long thought out in this instance with someone of his medical background. It's the impulsive suicides that are the saddest. They just want to kill the pain they are feeling, not really themselves but they aren't themselves and feel helpless and hopeless of circumstances ever changing for the better. I know, I've been there, but for me it was anti-depressants that made me worse. I was depressed but meds made me suicidal.
@TommyIsH080625 And I have to add that once I finally got off of the meds, I had never been happier in my life! There is hope and things do change if YOU want them too.
@TommyIsH080625 it would be kool if you could find video footage of jesse sharp going over the falls in a kayak in 1990,I remember following this story and the police were turning off the falls to get him to come ashore but he just paddled around the rocks and went over the falls.I dont think they ever did find his body
@bailinnumberguy yes they can shut the falls off-the falls run 2 powerplants and above the falls there are inlets to divert the water to the power plants-and the more water diverted the less that goes over the falls
@bailinnumberguy They do control the flow over the falls and allow just enough water to maintain aesthetic. The purpose of diverting the water underground is to reduce erosion and supply the multiple generating stations downstream. Fact is, they did dam and completely shut off the Bridal falls (the section seen in this video) in 1969 for restoration work to prevent erosion. The full project was abandoned before it was completed. Evidence of the project is visible in the talus below the falls.
@bailinnumberguy wrote, "Turning off the falls? What is there, a giant faucet knob that they just turn and the river stops?"
A: Not exactly. Water is diverted 50% during daytime in tourist season, and 75% at other times but, they don't and can't divert 100% of it. To inspect and reinforce the American falls, the US Army Corps of Engineers created an earth berm across the channel to divert all water to the Canadian Falls. That's how they turned off the American Falls.
This was shown on a Buffalo NY TV station as it happened some time in 1985. I can remember watching it while I was eating dinner. Definitely lost my appetite.
I went out 200 yards off goat isle................... saw a shinney nickel and thought it would bring me luck at the casino! is the guy in the river johnny knoxville?
God Bless that man. I did not intend to watch this video, but now that I have I feel really awful for that guy. I didn't even finish watching; it's terribly sad. Poor man.
@kootanaycat. Fair enough your point Is valid yet the reason there should be some sort of method to stop access is because it's one of the most visited places in the world, look at how easy it was to get to the rivers edge. How easy would it be for a child to do the same. It's not a little stream it's niahra falls for goodness sake!
Hey to the people laughing at this guy, you guys are jerks, how would you like it if someone pushed YOU in the falls and laughed at you?! I would be laughing because you deserve it. These people DIE from this you idiots! DIE, it's not funny. If you guys think it is, the next time I see your faces I'll PUSH right over the falls to see if you laugh at it.
did he do it on purpose? like i imagined it like some dude going for a swim without thinking "hang on a minute i might go over that edge....." not an actual suicide attempt. it was the way he ran into it. i think if he did want to die he wud of jumped in from a bridge or a cliff cos it wud be easier than running at it like he did
It's a river. Anyone can enter the river with an easy walk. At the three sisters' islands, the water goes from 1 inch of calm water, and 15 feet out it's raging class VI rapids.
@KrishnaGrelc there is about a four foot space of land between the river and the sidewalk on the american side. there is also a four foot tall fence or so as well.
@KrishnaGrelc If we had to barricade every danger in the world from every "over medicated" or otherwise sane person then we would be locked in padded rooms. I hope that you aren't a politician because it's people thinking like you who make this world a place where common sense doesn't have to exist.
Let's all go watch some CHEERLEADER AUTOPSY. Nobody dies in our flick. Wait, a bunch of cheerleaders die...and a coach...and a bus driver...oh, forget it!
@bradattax dude, what is wrong with you?? this man a had a family and mabye even kids and i'm sure they feel a tad bit different than you do about this
I must disagree with you Mrpuglet,........ sort of. You're right in what you say but there are times when clinical depression can take over and lead you to do things that are far beyond your control. I myself suffer from anxiety disorder and before I was diagnosed I considered suicide several times, even though I have everything to live for. I sought proffessional help and thankfully I was diagnosed before I did something stupid.
Suicide is a weak way of escaping life at a tough time. Thats all, there's no other science to it so no need to discuss the topic. People that commit suicide have no respect for the people they leave behind.
O.K. this takes me way back. I grew up in the N.F. area and actually saw the original "unedited" report on the news. The reporter gasps "Holy SHIT'!!!
This WAS a suicide!!! the police found his car abandoned in a parking lot with a "note" appologizing to his children. Finding drugs in his system is news to me. If so, it was a drug induced suicide. His body was found many days later on the shores of Lake Ontario near the town of Olcott, NY, about 60 miles away.
Suicide has many definitions, and by most it is an act, direct or indirect, where he died as a result of his own actions. From the social stigma of the word suicide as a willful act to knowingly kill oneself, this is not, based on his family's information that he didn't know that what he was doing would result in his death.
In any case, it is important to talk about situation like this and others where habits and actions result in death. Is overeating or smoking a case of suicide since they lead to death as a result of illnesses directly related to those acts? Our society wants to categorize everything until nobody is responsible for anything they do. One fact is indisputable, nobody escapes corporal death.
2 Falls, Canada's is the Hoseshoe Falls, U.S. is the Falls on the other side, that has all of the rocks at the bottom. The bridal veil is between them beside what is known as Goat Island.
Niagara Falls consists of the Horseshoe (Canadian) Falls, Bridal Veil (Luna) Falls, and Rainbow (American) Falls. The international border passes along the tip of Terrapin Point on Goat Island, NY, which puts much of Horseshoe Falls in Ontario, Canada, and the other two Falls in New York, US
I don't really know how people can find it funny...just seems twisted to me. Dark humour is one thing, laughing at someone's last moments is quite another.
His body wasn't recovered dumbshit. There are numerous pieces of broken rock that have fallen to the bottom of the American Falls and I highly doubt anyone could survive that.
In the update I made to the description a few months ago, I explain that his family contacted me - I was told that his body was found and medication in his system; at the time he was not fully cognizant of his actions - he was buried.
desperation, sadness, depression ...that's not hilarious. That's sad. Why are people laughing at this video? Maybe if they image someone they care about as suicidal it wouldn't be so funny.

Is that the Maid of the Mist you can see in the background when the guy is going over the edge? Wonder if anybody saw it from the boat?

Niagara Falls consists of the Horseshoe (Canadian) Falls, Bridal Veil (Luna) Falls, and Rainbow (American) Falls. The international border passes along the tip of Terrapin Point on Goat Island, NY, which puts much of Horseshoe Falls in Ontario, Canada, and the other two Falls in New York, US

That's because it IS the American Falls . . . The American Falls is one of the two major falls that make up Niagara Falls . . .

You are a fucking idiot. This was filmed at Prospect Point, which is next at the American Falls. Stay in Vancouver and keep your opinions to yourself

thats because there is two sides, canada is one side of the horseshoe curve and America is the other, so who is the idiot?

I don't really know how people can find it funny...just seems twisted to me. Dark humour is one thing, laughing at someone's last moments is quite another.

aNoxiousFart 2 years ago
His body wasn't recovered dumbshit. There are numerous pieces of broken rock that have fallen to the bottom of the American Falls and I highly doubt anyone could survive that.
richyrich55 2 years ago

I thought I saw a few trees down there, he might have made it

In the update I made to the description a few months ago, I explain that his family contacted me - I was told that his body was found and medication in his system; at the time he was not fully cognizant of his actions - he was buried.
