Niagara searchers look for woman, find man
Updated August 16, 2011 12:00:15
Searchers looking for the body of a woman, who overstepped a safety railing and fell into Niagara Falls, found an unidentified male body instead.
The 19-year-old international student from Japan was presumed drowned after she plunged into the fast-flowing waters near the brink of Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side of the falls about 8:30pm on Sunday (local time), according to Canadian park police.
She had climbed over a railing and straddled it while enjoying the view with a friend, police said.
"The young woman stood up in what appeared to be an attempt to climb back over when she lost her balance and fell," reads a statement from Canadian park police.
No foul play is suspected in the incident, police said.
The woman's identity was withheld pending notification of her family in Japan.
With a helicopter hovering above, an international search party scoured Niagara Falls Gorge for her body.
On Monday she remained missing but searchers instead spotted an unidentified male body at the base of the falls in an area known as the whirlpool, police said.

*sigh* I’m old enough to remember when the falls were truly magnificent, the amount of water flowing over them now is about half of what I remember it to be as a kid, and even then it was reduced a lot from what it naturally should be.
