A terrible situation in Fort Erie is unfolding following Friday's waterfront tragedy.

A 28 year old mother died after jumping into the Niagara River to save her son, but now we have learned the late mother's home has been broken into.

A family friend says the majority of anything valuable, including a fridge, and freezer full of food, was taken.

The necklace with the urn of the mother's infant daughter is nowhere to be found, but the friend says it is possible she was wearing it at the time of the incident.

A gofundme has been set up to help the family--you can find the link on our website.

On Friday, police were called to the area of Jarvis Street and Niagara Boulevard in Fort Erie.

Police allege 28-year-old Joshawa Raymond Douglas Brooks forcibly swooped up a young child and then jumped into the Niagara River.

The child's mother jumped into the water trying to save her son, but witnesses say it wasn't long before she needed to be rescued as well.

She died in hospital on Saturday, and the child is in hospital listed in stable condition.

The body of Brooks was found on Saturday.

A gofundme has been set up to help the family.
