Here is some more interesting information: http://sabr.org/bioproj/person/d835353d The train crossed the International Railway Bridge over the Niagara River into Buffalo. In the darkness Big Ed walked out onto the 3,600 foot long bridge and was standing still at its edge, staring down into the water, when he was accosted by night watchman Sam Kingston, on the lookout for smugglers. A scuffle ensued, with Kingston dragging Delahanty back to the middle of the wide bridge, but Kingston then fell down and Delahanty got away. Moments later, according to Kingston -- who claimed it was too dark to see what happened -- Del either jumped or drunkenly stumbled off the edge of the bridge, falling 25 feet into the 40-foot-deep Niagara River. His naked body (except for tie, shoes and socks) was found 20 miles downstream at the base of Horseshoe Falls-the Canadian portion of Niagara Falls-seven days later. Dead at the age of 35, he was buried in Calvary Cemetery in Cleveland. Dec 15 12, 8:33 AM
