Mamma hoppade ner för Niagarafallen med sina två barn (2024-10-28)

A mother who jumped to her death off Niagara Falls alongside her two children was suffering from postpartum depression at the time of the murder-suicide, it's claimed.

Chianti Means, 33, stepped over the Luna Island guardrail with her two kids, Roman Rossman, 9, and Mecca Means, four months, before pushing them off the ledge and jumping after them.

Rumors surrounding the October 28 deaths have stemmed from Means' social media posts about her split with her daughter's father, in which she hinted at her anguish sadness and regret.

And now her cousin, Bierra Hamilton says the young mom was suffering from postpartum depression.

'Understand this - postpartum [depression] is very real and needs a cure,' Hamilton told the New York Post. 'Her death wasn’t over a man. My cousin was silently fighting depression alone.'
