Here’s What Reportedly Happened To Chianti Means, Roman Rossman & Mecca Means

According to ABC News, the incident occurred at Niagara Falls on the evening of Monday, October 28, around 9 p.m. Means and her children were reportedly at the site when they reportedly “crossed over a safety guard rail.” Afterward, they reportedly fell into the falls.

Additionally, police have asserted that the family’s act was “intentional in nature.”

“…Investigation determined that three individuals, Chianti Means, 33-years-old, Roman Rossman, 9-years-old and Mecca Means, 5-months-old all of Niagara Falls, NY crossed over safety guild rail and went over Niagara Falls on Luna Island (attached to Goat Island),” a press release updated by the NYPD on Wednesday, October 30, asserted. “The investigation has determined that this incident was intentional in nature, though the circumstances remain under investigation.”

According to the outlet, police attempted a search and rescue for the family. However, their efforts were unsuccessful.

“It’s not something where they just stumbled in,” New York State Trooper James O’Callaghan reportedly explained. “Based on the information we have, we do know it was an intentional act, but the reason why is tougher to answer.”

Daily Mail reports that authorities have uncovered social media posts allegedly made by Means where she expressed her desire to resume a romantic relationship with her daughter’s father.

“Everyone please leave me alone I’m in love with my daughter father. I want my family back. Respectfully [I don’t care] what I said about him before or what anyone else thinks,” she allegedly wrote in one post with another adding. “I wish someone would love me because the man that’s suppose to does not.”

Per E! News, authorities have also shared that they’ve interviewed witnesses about the moments leading up to the family’s apparent suicide.

“…it is alarming what they told us,” Trooper O’Callaghan reportedly explained.

Daily Mail reports that authorities were still attempting to retrieve the bodies of Chianti Means, Roman Rossman, and Mecca Means on Wednesday, October 30.
