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.
