New York mother Chianti Means sent her children over Niagara Falls before “deliberately” committing suicide

The New York mother who intentionally jumped to her death into Niagara Falls with her young children threw her children over the railing first, according to a report.

According to the Niagara Gazette, state park police said Thursday that they had reviewed security footage from Luna Park, a small area near the falls, and could confirm the sequence of events surrounding the fatal crash.

Roman Rossman, 9, was the first in the family to go into the water, followed by five-month-old Mecca Means — and then her mother, Chianti Means, 33, went, state police said at a news conference, according to the Gazette.

Asked if the mother preyed on her children, state police public information officer James O'Callaghan said, “No, we believe it was intentional.”

“I won't go into detail about what the witnesses saw because it's still an active case, but it's alarming what they told us,” O'Callaghan said at the news conference, the Niagara Gazette reports.

State and Park Police officers were called to Goat Island at 9:30 p.m. Monday after witnesses called to report seeing a woman walking over the falls with her children.

Chianti climbed over a four-foot guardrail on Luna Island Monday night to reach the precipice from which she would lead her children to their doom.

According to the Niagara Gazette, investigators have no current information about the motive or reason for the crime, but are investigating whether a mental health crisis or mental disorders played a role in the tragic incident.

According to the Niagara Gazette, the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation is conducting an investigation but does not expect charges to be filed.

According to the Niagara Gazette, Roman and Mecca's fathers are each cooperating with investigators.

Investigators have not yet recovered the victims' bodies.
