Ted Koppel’s 40-year-old son was found dead this week after a drinking binge. Andrew Koppel, a lawyer who has a girlfriend and daughter, was staggering drunk when people he met in a bar put him to bed, said the New York Post. The next morning, he was dead. The son of the former ABC newsman had a long history of alcohol-related problems, including a DUI arrest.
