There was a suicide Friday at the observation deck by the Maid of the Mist.
An adult female reportedly jumped from the bridge portion of the deck before the elevators. The deck had recently reopened following maintenance work.
Design work is underway to improve the railings on the deck to make it harder to jump.
This was the 3rd known suicide at the location this year. The Express heard from a source on Friday that a 4th occurred in April but was not reported.

Thanks for covering this event. Maybe next time I will send you a drone picture of all 200 of us, and you can then post that.Â
Does anyone know the proper process in Niagara Falls, NY for getting bulk trash or debris removed from a private yard? I’m trying to figure out who handles it and what steps residents are supposed to follow.
I would say organize a group of people to address the property you are concerned about and bring it to the curb on May 9, the annual Niagara Beautification Commission cleanup. Casella will pick it up.
