From the Niagara Gazette:
The curious case of the death of Kirk Jones is not closed.
Despite the recovery and identification of Jones’ body, New York State Park Police are still trying to piece together the details of what happened to Jones on the morning of April 19.
At the moment, they have just as many questions as they have answers.
Why did Jones, who survived a suicide attempt over the Horseshoe Falls in 2003 make another attempt to survive the perilous 167-foot plunge?
Why wasn’t Jones inside the 8-foot plastic ball, that was going to be his vessel, when it was spotted in the Niagara River rapids and then, finally, went over the falls?
And where is the 7-foot long boa constrictor, named Misty, that he apparently had planned to have join him on his ride?
