Suicide prevention difficult at Niagara falls

Article here. Excerpt:

'Most attempted suicides at the falls, Gromosiak found, are young men between the ages of 20 and 40.

Of all attempted suicides, 71 per cent are men. Twenty per cent of suicides occur at the Horseshoe Falls.

On the American side, several suicide prevention measures have been implemented near the falls.

Several emergency suicide hotline phones are installed at Niagara Falls, N. Y. State Park.

The phones are linked directly to the county's Suicide Prevention Service.

There are no such phones on the Canadian side, but that doesn't mean they might not appear in the future.

"It's a good idea and it is something we can consider," Kane said.'
