‚öæ Vanished at Niagara Falls: The Strange Death of Big Ed Delahanty ‚öæ

He was one of baseball’s first great sluggers — a towering figure who hit for power and average, adored by fans and feared by pitchers. But in July of 1903, Ed “Big Ed” Delahanty stepped off a train near Niagara Falls… and vanished into the night.

Days later, his body was found battered beneath Horseshoe Falls, stripped of his valuables and shrouded in mystery.

Did he stumble to his death on the dark and dangerous International Railway Bridge?

Did despair drive him to leap into the river?

Or was he the victim of foul play, robbed and left to drown in the roaring waters?

More than a century later, the case remains unsolved — a haunting mystery where baseball history meets true crime.

Join me, Jay Nicoll of Nicoll Investigations, as we dive into one of the strangest disappearances in sports history:

Vanished at Niagara Falls: The Strange Death of Big Ed Delahanty coming this Tuesday, October 7th only on Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast.
