Police searching gorge for man who fell into lower rapids

[from the Niagara-Gazette.com]

State Park Police were again searching the lower gorge for a person who slipped into the rapids on Sunday.

While searching, a body was found on the Canadian shoreline but it was not the man park police were searching for.

A man fishing near the whirlpool area slipped and fell into the fast-moving waters while fishing Sunday morning, about 6 a.m.

Park Police Lt. Patrick Moriarty told the Niagara Falls, Ont., Review that a man fishing with the victim called police.

“They observed him being pulled to the middle of the river and then he disappeared,” Moriarity said.

“We’re looking for an adult, black male, 22-years-old,” he said.

A similar search was conducted earlier this month after a 23-year-old UB student slipped into the water while stepping on to a rock in the river near Devil’s Hole.
