While the investigation is ongoing, authorities have reached a preliminary finding: &#8220;The investigation has determined that this incident was intentional in nature,&#8221; stated New York State Police in a news release. The tragic event involved 33-year-old Chianti Means and her children\u20149-year-old Roman Rossman and 5-month-old Mecca Means\u2014who reportedly crossed over a guardrail before jumping from Luna Island, connected to Goat Island. <\/p>\n<p>New York State Trooper James O\u2019Callaghan emphasized that this was not an accidental fall. Initial recovery efforts for the bodies were unsuccessful. In the days leading up to her death, Means expressed distress over a breakup with her daughter&#8217;s father through social media posts under the name Diamond Scott. She shared feelings of loss and regret about their relationship.<\/p>\n<p>In one post from September, she lamented: \u201cI wish someone would love me because the man that\u2019s supposed to does not.\u201d A few days later on October 1st, she wrote about wanting her family back despite previous negative comments about him.<\/p>\n<p>Later that day, she advised others to cherish their loved ones as they could be lost unexpectedly. In another exchange online, she took responsibility for the breakup by calling herself names related to being pregnant and confused about her feelings.<\/p>\n<p>Following this tragedy, friends of Means expressed their sorrow online; one friend shared how difficult it was to process their emotions regarding her loss and emphasized how much they cared for Means and her children<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2362312,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Niagara-Falls.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[7691,44107,13242],"class_list":["post-2362311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-mom","tag-niagara-falls","tag-tragedy"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Niagara-Falls.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2362311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2362311"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2362311\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2362312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2362311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2362311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2362311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
