A mum died after jumping 90ft off Niagara Gorge with her 5-year-old son in a "suicide plunge" whilst on holiday.

The 34-year-old, from Illinois, US, climbed over a railing on Goat Island in Niagara State Park at around 12.30pm on February 12 when she jumped into the icy banks along with her son.

The child survived but remains in a critical condition at Oishei Children’s Hospital in Buffalo after undergoing surgery following a head injury.
