"The body of a woman recovered Thursday morning from lower Niagara River has been identified by the Erie Country Medical Examiner's office," a police spokeswoman told AFP.
"It is confirmed that the woman is the one and the same with respect to an incident where a woman was reported falling into the waters of the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side of the border on August 14."
Local media identified the woman as Ayano Tokumasu, a 19-year-old Japanese student who had been visiting the falls with a friend. Her body was spotted on Thursday floating near the shore of a popular US tourist attraction （the cave of winds, side of usa falls） by an employee who alerted police.
Tokumasu had lost her footing while climbing onto a railing near the river's edge at about 8:30 pm Sunday (0030 GMT Monday) and was swept over the Horseshoe Falls.
"The subject female was observed climbing over the railing and straddling it while looking out at the falls," Inspector Paul Forcier of the Niagara Parks Police Service said on Monday. "She was holding an umbrella at the time."
"The young woman stood up in what appeared to be an attempt to climb back over when she lost her balance and fell into the waters."
She was presumed drowned.
Canadian and US authorities searched for several hours for her body on Monday, but came up instead with the "unidentified human remains of a male" in the lower Niagara River.
Niagara Parks Police Service said in a statement on Thursday the male has since been identified as a 41-year-old Hamilton, Ontario resident who had previously been reported missing.
His name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
"Foul play is not suspected in this occurrence, which is unrelated to the original incident involving the female victim," police said.
