Niagara Falls


Niagara Falls body identified as Japanese student@CBC News

In August in 2011Athe body of a woman pulled from Niagara River has been identified as Ayano Tokumasu,
the Japanese student who fell into the water and was swept over Horseshoe Falls. Tokumasu, 20, was studying
English at the Hansa Language Centre in Toronto. She and a friend were visiting the famous tourist attraction.
Niagara Falls police said surveillance footage from the visitors centre shows a young woman holding an umbrella,
straddling a safety railing and looking at the falls. But when she got up to climb back over the railing, she lost
her balance and slipped into the rushing waters near the brink of Horseshoe Falls. Local police and fire crews
searched the water below the falls in the days after the accident, but failed to locate her. Her body was recovered
later when an employee of Cave of the Winds, an attraction in Niagara Falls, N.Y., spotted a body in the water
and notified authorities. The state park police confirmed five days after, that the body was Tokumasu's. Her
family in Japan has been notified of the accident.

The woman, in her 20s, who was studying in Toronto, climbed on to a pillar overlooking the Canadian side of
the falls and slipped over, police said. She then fell into the Niagara River about 24m up from the edge of the
falls and was swept over. The Niagara Parks Police described the death as a tragic accident. In the following
morning, the woman's body had not been recovered. Officials said they were working with the Japanese
consulate to notify her family. "The public is reminded that climbing over this wall is clearly dangerous and is
prohibited by the Niagara Parks Act and its regulations," Niagara Parks Police Chief Doug Kane warned. "Millions
of visitors have viewed the scenic Niagara falls and the Niagara River gorge while respecting the safety wall
without incident." The accident, which occurred about 20:30 local time at Table Rock near the Horseshoe Falls
on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. The woman, who was visiting with a friend, had been taking a photograph,
then climbed on to a pillar holding an umbrella before standing up for a clearer view, police said. She lost her
footing as she tried to climb down from a block pillar and tumbled into the fast-moving river, police said.
