In an early start to the season (suicide season generally peaks in about September), there have been 2 jumpers and one accident in my hometown of Niagara Falls this week. One attempted suicide actually survived and was rescued, only the 4th time anyone survived going over the Falls. The accident was more of a stupidity in that although there are signs all over the place warning people NOT to go into the waters above or below the Falls, some immigrant student decided to go and cool off in the waters near the whirlpools. :doh Yeah, he didn't make it. There was another suicide wannabee who was talked out of her attempt by the police as well this week. Sheesh. This does NOT bode well for the season ahead. :sad Edited by Jennie in TO, May 27, 2012, 4:34 pm.

Well, we are one of the suicide capitals of North America so it's not totally surprising, but 3 in one week is a bit much. On the American side of the Falls there are emergency phones all the way along the railings, "just in case" you see someone having thoughts , or you are having thoughts and need help. Everyone here knows it happens, but 3 in one week is even a bit much for us. :sigh |

Wow 3 that is a lot in a week. I did read about the one that survived going over the falls but didn't know that you have so many who commit suicide at the falls. It is a beautiful place to visit I have been there a few times and really enjoyed my stay. It is hard for me to think that with all that beauty around them people fall into such despair. It is very sad. I wonder how much this bad economy adds to the suicide rate. |
