Another body found in search for woman at Niagra Falls

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — Authorities in the Niagara Falls region have identified the body of a man found while they searched for a Japanese woman swept over the waterfall.

Dental records revealed the body was that of a man from Hamilton, Ont., who had been reported missing. Regional police said Thursday that no foul play is suspected and as a routine matter did not release his name.

The body was found by a helicopter while authorities searched for a 19-year-old student who tumbled off a railing Sunday on the Canadian side.

Niagara Parks Police in Ontario tell The Buffalo News that they’re scaling back the search for her because currents are too strong.

Authorities haven’t released her name but have said she was a student in Toronto. The Canadian’s death appears unrelated.
