This Buffalo, New York chef went over the Falls in a large wooden barrel.
It is assumed he survived the plunge over the Falls but his barrel was caught
behind the curtain of water and remained trap for almost 18 hours.
Finally it broke loose and was towed to shore and opened. Stathakis, with only
enough oxygen for three hours, had died of suffocation. However, his pet turtle,
taken along for good luck, was still alive. |
