Ted Koppel's second youngest son, Andrew was found dead in a New York City apartment early this morning. Andrew Koppel and a guy he had met 12 hours earlier spent most of the day drinking. Andrew, who has a girlfriend and a young child consumed straight whiskey nonstop for almost the entire day.
"He had a straw hat on, and I had one on, and he said, 'Nice hat, man.'" We got to talking, and he started buying me drinks."
Koppel drank straight whiskey and suggested they move from bar to bar, Wimberly said.
As they walked, Koppel sipped from a pint bottle of Jameson, Wimberly said.
"There was a lot of alcohol. He didn't take anything else [drugs] around me, and neither of us ate all day," he said. "We talked about our kids . . . He said he had a kid and loved [her] a lot."
When they got back to the drinking buddy's house. Andrew Koppel lay down to sleep. He never woke up. This is so incredibly tragic. According to the NY Post, Andrew has a long, long history of alcohol abuse.
