Mother ignored pleas before plunge
Family struggles to understand why woman jumped off bridge with her son
By Michele HENRY, Staff Reporter
One wilted bouquet of flowers, a few plastic poinsettias and a teddy bear fastened to the guardrail of a 401 overpass are the only visible reminders of how a mother plunged to her death this weekend, along with her preschool-aged son.
Andrea JOHNSON, 30, jumped off the Morningside Ave. bridge with her 2-year-old son Sulla GENUA on Sunday evening.
The two plummeted 30 metres onto the busy westbound collector lanes of Highway 401 below in the city's east end.
Relatives learned of the tragic situation late yesterday afternoon.
"We only found out a couple of hours ago," said a cousin of GENUA's father, who did not want to be named.
"There's a lot of sorrow. We're very frustrated and upset."
JOHNSON was undeterred by motorists who stopped their cars on the side of the road to try to help. Despite their pleas, she flung herself and her son off the bridge. Both were struck by cars speeding along the highway, near the Toronto Zoo, at about 7: 15 p.m.
A post-mortem examination conducted yesterday concluded that JOHNSON died as a result of multiple trauma, while her son was killed by blunt-impact head trauma.
Speculation swirled as to whether the pair was from out of the province, and why the mother had taken her own life and that of her child.
Psychiatric experts say it's likely JOHNSON suffered severe depression and speculated that a psychotic episode pushed her to this "highly lethal" act.
"I'd be concerned about a psychotic depression, where judgment and connection to reality are impaired," said Doctor Jodi LOFCHY, an associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Toronto and chair of psychiatric emergency services at the University Health Network.
"Someone has to be very ill for this to occur."
LOFCHY explained that in such cases, the woman tends to believe she is "saving herself and the boy from a fate worse than death." Things seem to be so bad that she sees no alternative but to end it all, LOFCHY said.
Dr. Mark BERBER, a lecturer in psychiatry at U of T, explained that such decisions are usually impulsive.
"Very often, something may have happened recently in their personal life to tip the balance," he said. "And the woman sees no future for her or her child."
A woman who experiences such an episode may believe she must take the child's life as well because there is no one else to care for him, said suicide expert Paul Links. "That's a sign of a significant mental health problem."
It's not likely the added stress of the oncoming holiday season had anything to do with it, the experts said.
Suicide rates tend to rise after the Christmas season, not before.
Investigators are still trying to piece together what happened before JOHNSON, who was found without shoes, climbed over the guardrail with her son. Officers said she made it to the overpass on a southbound bus, with a transfer from the Sheppard Ave. subway station.
With her hair in dreadlocks and wearing stockings, a three-quarter-length coat, a ribbed sweater and a Gap jacket, JOHNSON walked from a nearby bus stop to the guardrail.
Several motorists who saw her walking suspiciously close to the railing called 911. A few stopped their cars on the side of the road when she crossed over the metal barrier with the child.
Police say a male motorist who had pulled over called to JOHNSON, who was described as acting calmly at the time, as he walked toward her.
"She was very close to the edge," Toronto police Sgt. Chris BUCK said, and jumped before the man could get near her. The mother died at the scene and the boy was pronounced dead in hospital.
Officers interviewed 10 to 12 witnesses: and kept the highway closed for several hours as the Ontario Provincial Police reconstructed the incident at the scene.
"It was pretty traumatic," BUCK said, noting that witnesses: received counselling from Victim Services at police headquarters. "But it's a credit to the people of Toronto that this situation can be noticed and they do something about it."

BUGEAUD, Tammy (née BERDAY) (1963-2006)
On Friday evening, October 13, 2006, my lovely and loving wife Tammy BUGEAUD (née BERDAY) suddenly passed away. She is going to carry on through our wonderful young boys, Tyler and Chase, in whom she instilled the caring and loving for other people that her parents, Milt and Elaine BERDAY of North Portal, Saskatchewan., helped instill in her. She's gone too young, leaving our family, including her parents, her loving brother Doug BERDAY and his partner Dianna SCHWAB, as well as relatives and extended family including Brian and Donna (née BERDAY) COLLISON's family, Rob and Angie BERDAY's family, David and Lori (née BERDAY) DUSKE's family, Dick and Tania BERDAY, David and Linda JONES' family, and her numerous Friends, to mourn her passing and cherish the time we spent with her. Tammy was born in Estevan, Saskatchewan, and raised on the family farm near North Portal. As a girl she was interested in sports, especially figure skating and curling. She was a hairdresser in early adulthood. We met 25 years ago and have been together all that time, being married the last 18 years. At first we lived together in Kindersley. We decided to pursue careers. We moved to Saskatoon for university, her mostly working until I was done. When we moved to Calgary she took an accounting program. She never became an accountant; our first boy, Tyler, came along and Tammy did what she was put here to do, love people and raise our children. Tammy threw herself into our boys' lives and regularly volunteered for their activities from preschool up. If Tammy knew you, she cared about you. She knew your spouse's name, your children's names and usually your birthday and anniversary, where you met your spouse and if people in your family were celebrating successes or suffering pain she knew, she remembered and she cared. Tammy cared about people and, in turn, people cared about her. In the past few years, always with our boys and often with relatives and Friends, we spent a great deal of time together on holidays in Hawaii, Mexico, Florida, California, and other places including most recently our summer condo in Kelowna where we shared our best summer. These memories are going to help the rest of us. Gary BUGEAUD A Celebration of Life will be held at Westside King's Church (3939 69 Street S.W.) on Friday October 20, 2006 at 1: 30 p.m. Forward condolences through www.mcinnisandholloway.com In living memory of Tammy BUGEAUD, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park by McInnis and Holloway Funeral Homes Park Memorial Chapel, 5008 Elbow Drive S.W.

'Horrific scene'
Officers say a collision that killed three people on the 401 was one of the worst they'd ever seen.
By John HERBERT, Free Press Reporter, Sat., September 23, 2006
Two veteran police officers say a crash on Highway 401 east of Woodstock that killed three people on Thursday night was one of the worst they have ever seen.
"It certainly was a horrific scene," said Const. Dennis HARWOOD, a 32-year member of the Ontario Provincial Police.
Sgt. Dave REKTOR said the collision involving three transport trucks, a sport utility vehicle and a car ranks as one of the worst he's seen because of the three deaths and the severity of damage to the vehicles.
"Whenever you see vehicles torn apart like last night, it causes you to take a step back and ponder about the severity of these types of crashes," he said yesterday.
The crash at about 10 p.m. in the eastbound lanes four kilometres east of the Drumbo exit reduced the sport utility vehicle to a "crumpled ball of metal," REKTOR said.
Ontario Provincial Police identified the dead as:
• Lawrence Richard BYRNE, 28, of R.R.#2, Belle River, the sport utility vehicle driver.
• Nachtar Singh CHOHAN, 42, of Quebec, one of the truck drivers.
• Bruno MAMBELLA, 45, of Kitchener, the car driver.
sport utility vehicle passenger Laura Marie CAMPBELL, 25, of Chatham, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Truck drivers Gary BERENOSE, 63, of Dundas, and Marc BERNIER, 42, of Quebec, were involved in the pileup, but unhurt, police said.
Police closed the stretch of Highway 401 until about 10 a.m. yesterday.
The carnage HARWOOD and other police and emergency personal witnessed was difficult to stomach, he said. "There was a very, very sombre mood among police and emergency people."
HARWOOD would not speculate on whether there would be charges or on the cause of the crash, adding that would be determined by the Ontario Provincial Police highway enforcement action team.
Investigators were continuing to evaluate the evidence gathered from the crash scene and had not determined a cause, he said.
The crash occurred in a construction zone, HARWOOD said.
Will ROE and Sirous HOUSHMAND were among the first people to arrive on the scene.
"We went up to help, but there wasn't much we could do," said ROE, who was heading to Guelph.
He said the passenger in the sport utility vehicle was waving her hand for help.
"The lady was alive and talking," he said.
The two men approached the car involved in the crash and found the driver unconscious. He was travelling alone, police said.
"We tried talking to him," said HOUSHMAND.
Plattsville, Drumbo and Princeton fire departments responded to the crash along with Ontario Provincial Police from Brant, Oxford and Cambridge detachments.

'She had the heart of a hero'
Girl tried to save mom, family says
By Thulasi SRIKANTHAN, Staff Reporter
In the cold morning wind yesterday, the women wailed and wailed, their faces streaked with tears, hands raised to the sky.
Behind them, a makeshift memorial rested on the front lawn, a tribute to 15-year-old Priscilla ASANTEWAAH. Family members say she rushed into her burning home on Humber Blvd., near Black Creek Doctor and Weston Rd., last Sunday to save her mother, who she thought was trapped upstairs.
Priscilla perished inside, unaware her mother, Mavis SERWAAH, had already jumped from the third floor to safety outside.
But yesterday a little glimmer of hope appeared for the family, who lost their home and everything in it, when they received two $500 cheques from the Toronto Professional Fire Fighters' Association and the firefighters' Operation Christmas Tree. The family also received toys from the firefighters' toy drive.
"This is a tragic situation… sometimes we don't have answers," said King Kwaski OPOKU, a community leader who spoke for the family. "Support like this gives us encouragement."
At Saint Michael's Hospital, SERWAAH cried out and clung to her 11-year-old son's shirt as relatives and Friends appealed to the public to help the family this Christmas.
"She was such a wonderful girl, it just hits the whole community," said John FORSON, Priscilla's uncle. "A life is lost, her mother is critically ill, a young boy left alone and all property lost. It is a tragic moment for us, and we urge the community to show their support."
FORSON said his niece was devoted to taking care of her mother, who is battling arthritis and breathing problems.
And he painted a picture of a friendly, athletic high school student who dreamed of building a better life for herself, attending university and becoming a dentist and mother.
"Unfortunately, those dreams did not realize," FORSON said.
'She knew that she had left her mom, who was incapable of getting out of this fire.
"She had the heart of a hero, doing everything for the mom," he said. "She knew that she had left her mom, who was incapable of getting out of this fire. She came out and decided to go back to get her mom.
"For a moment," FORSON said, "you have to stay back and think about the heart of this girl."
After the fire, Toronto Fire Chief Bill Stewart stressed the need for fire sprinklers in newly constructed buildings, while acknowledging that retrofitting older buildings would be an expensive process.
"The only way we are going to effectively stop this fire death problem is to bring in sprinkler legislation," he said.
"Residential sprinklers are the answer; 88 per cent of our fire deaths happen in our homes.
"There are 220 jurisdictions in North America that have legislation in place now," said Stewart.
"The City of Vancouver has had this legislation in place since 1990, and not had one fire death, so this is not new."
Meanwhile, the firefighters are also appealing for the public's help in dealing with a severe shortage of toys for their toy drive.
"We are especially in urgent need of toys for both girls and boys above the age of 9 years," said Rick BERENZ, executive officer for the Toronto Fire Fighters' Association.
A viewing for Priscilla will be held at 10 a.m. December 30 at All Nations Full Gospel Church, 4401 Steeles Ave. W., followed by a funeral service at 8 p.m. in the Church of Pentecost banquet hall, 2256 Sheppard Ave. W.
A trust fund has been set up to aid the family. Donations can be made at any Royal Bank branch.
