Police investigating after woman killed, boy injured in 90-feet fall into Niagara Gorge

Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding a 90-foot-fall in the Niagara Gorge Monday in which a woman was killed and her 5-year-old son was critically injured. 

The child, who has undergone surgery since the fall, is in critical condition with a head injury at Oishei Children's Hospital in Buffalo, according to New York State Park Police (NYSPP). 

Though it is not yet clear whether the woman and boy fell or jumped into the gorge, New York State Park Police Capt. Chris Rola said in a news conference Monday that the "investigation is still ongoing at this time, but we don't believe it was an accident."
