A heartbreaking tragedy unfolded at Niagara Falls State Park on October 28th, 2024, when a 33-year-old woman, Chianti Means, and her two young children, 9-year-old Roman Rossman and 5-month-old Mecca Means, fell to their deaths.
The family bypassed safety barriers and entered a restricted area on Goat Island.
Despite extensive security measures in place at the park, the family managed to access the dangerous area.
New York State Park Police are investigating the incident and have determined that the deaths were intentional.
However, the specific motivations behind the tragic act remain unclear.
Under the pseudonym Chianti Means, Means expressed feelings of loneliness, frustration, and a desire for love and family. Her posts revealed a troubled mind, with references to past relationships and a longing for connection.
The exact circumstances leading to the tragic incident are still under investigation. However, the social media posts offer a glimpse into the emotional turmoil that may have contributed to her decision.
This is Chianti’s husband, Jeff Wit, and according to sources close to the family, he was reportedly told to do something extreme, like jumping from Niagara Falls.
The incident has raised serious concerns about safety protocols at the park and the need for increased vigilance to prevent future tragedies.
