According to ABC News, a tragic incident took place at Niagara Falls on the evening of Monday, October 28, around 9 p.m. The report states that Means and her children were at the site when they crossed over a safety guard rail and fell into the falls.
Furthermore, law enforcement officials have stated that the family deliberately carried out their actions.
“…Investigation determined that three individuals, Chianti Means, 33-years-old, Roman Rossman, 9-years-old and Mecca Means, 5-months-old all of Niagara Falls, NY crossed over safety guild rail and went over Niagara Falls on Luna Island (attached to Goat Island),” a press release updated by the NYPD on Wednesday, October 30, asserted. “The investigation has determined that this incident was intentional in nature, though the circumstances remain under investigation.”
