 ===== Search and Recovery Efforts =====
   * Despite what would have been extensive search and rescue operations typical for such incidents in 1998, Colin Campbell's body was never recovered from the Saint John River or the Bay of Fundy. The 1998 Maritime Search and Rescue Incidents Annual Report from the Canadian Coast Guard shows that the Halifax Search and Rescue Region (which would have covered New Brunswick waters) conducted numerous rescue operations that year, with 85.07% effectiveness in saving lives at risk.
+===== The Location: Reversing Falls Bridge =====
+==== Historical Context of the Bridge ====
+  * The Reversing Falls Bridge has been a location of concern for suicide prevention efforts. The bridge crosses the Saint John River at the famous Reversing Falls, where the river's flow actually reverses direction twice daily due to the extreme tides of the Bay of Fundy.
+===== Suicide Prevention History =====
+  * Research indicates that the Reversing Falls Bridge has been a site where multiple individuals have taken their lives over the years. As recently as 2017, a Toronto psychiatrist recommended that Saint John install suicide prevention barriers on the bridge, citing its history as a location where people had jumped to their deaths.
+  * The Community Suicide Prevention Committee in Saint John had asked the city to put up a suicide barrier on the bridge, reporting 75 crisis calls to the bridge between 2015 and 2017
