Niagara Parks Police say a body that was pulled from the Niagara River was a 19-year-old Japanese student who was swept over Niagara Falls last Sunday.
The body was discovered at around 10 o’clock yesterday morning by an employee at the Cave of the Winds, a tourist attraction on the American side of the falls.
Police say the woman was visiting the Canadian side when she climbed over a railing along the river and fell. The strong current swept her over the falls.
Her body was taken to a Buffalo, N.Y., hospital for an autopsy and identification.
