Taro T Posted Thursday at 12:02 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 12:02 AM Very tragic. The Falls unfortunately is a huge lure to those wishing to pass beyond this life in a dramatic way. May those 2 children RIP and may their mother finally have the solace she apparently couldn't find in this life. Back in the mid-80's during a noon news broadcast Channel 2 was covering some sort of flower festival by the Falls. About a minute into the broadcast you see a short older man run into the river. His head bopped up a couple of times and then he went under the water. A few seconds later there were a pair of feet popping out of the water as he went over. Don't remember the reporter, but will never forget seeing the guy's legs pop back up out of the water. Mental illness sucks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idemo Buffalo Posted Thursday at 12:21 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 12:21 AM Very sad. I read that the mother was a domestic violence counselor. I am sure that type of work can be quite rewarding but also very stressful and depressing. Considering she took two children with her though, Taro T is probably right, mental illness was likely a factor here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted Sunday at 03:33 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 03:33 PM People are stressed with life these days. Often they see no other way out. Not to downplay the tragic nature of mental illness, but that is not always a factor. Was there a husband / significant other in the family dynamic? Maybe the last thing that was piled on was a partner that left the family? Very sad and tragic story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
