BERKELEY, CA -- The body of a 23-year-old UC Berkeley School of Law student was recovered Thursday night from near Toketee Falls, about 40 miles east of Roseburg, Ore., more than a month after falling from an overlook near the waterfall, Douglas County Sheriff's officials said.

Brian Lewinstein, a magna cum laude graduate of UCLA and former intern of Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Los Angeles), fell down a steep embankment near the falls on Aug. 12, Sheriff's officials said, apparently while trying to photograph the falls. Weeks of searches by members of Douglas County Search and Rescue

failed to turn up any trace of Lewinstein.

About 5:45 p.m. Thursday, two hikers called the Sheriff's office saying they had discovered a body in a pool near the bottom of the falls.
