Man Dies in Fall at Letchworth

An Amherst man is dead after falling 300 feet into the gorge at Letchworth State Park.

19-year-old Andrew Brinkman was with three friends when he fell into the Genesee River Gorge at around 9:30 Saturday morning.

Police say Brinkman stepped over a stone retaining wall and was walking along a dirt ledge when he slipped.

Just last week, Simon Griffis of Buffalo died after falling into the gorge at Zoar Valley.
