Chianti Means, 33, and her two young children, Mecca Means, 5, and Roman Rossman, 9, lost their life in a tragic tragedy at Niagara Falls. When the family fell over the safety rail, their trip to Luna Island took a deadly turn.
The incident was determined to be purposeful by the New York State Police inquiry. According to reports, Chianti threw her kids over and then leaped after them. Authorities carried out a thorough search and rescue operation.
Bierra Hamilton, Chianti’s cousin, revealed that the mother had been battling postpartum depression. She stressed that there was no reason to speculate about Chianti’s passing, saying, “Postpartum depression is very real and needs a cure.”
Chianti’s mental health issues were alluded to in her social media posts. She said she yearned for love and connection a month before she passed away. Her family said she was wise and full of life.
John Wayne Rossman, Roman’s father, set up a GoFundMe page to pay for Roman’s funeral and build a memorial on Luna Island. In order to pay for Roman’s funeral and a memorial service on his upcoming tenth birthday, $20,000 must be raised.
John thanked everyone for their prayers and encouraging thoughts during this trying time. The tragedy experienced by the family emphasizes how critical it is to address mental health issues.
