Cops: Man over Niagara Falls, apparent suicide Updated 3:55 PM ET (AP) NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. - Police are investigating an apparent suicide over Niagara Falls on the U.S. side, a day after a man remarkably survived a plunge over the Canadian falls. New York State Park Police say video surveillance confirmed a witness report that a tall, slim man around 50 to 60 years old was swept away after he entered the Niagara River above the falls Tuesday morning. Lt. Patrick Moriarty says the man is believed to have committed suicide. His body wasn't immediately recovered. The report comes a day after a man survived a 180-foot plunge over the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side in an apparent suicide attempt. He's recovering in a hospital. Suicides are not uncommon at the falls, but authorities don't routinely report them out of concern they'd encourage copycat attempts.
