Koppel son dies after a bender

[The Infidel]

As a dad, I feel really bad for Ted Koppel.


"The son of legendary TV newsman Ted Koppel was found dead in a Washington Heights apartment under mysterious circumstances yesterday morning after a daylong drinking binge with a man he had just met in a Midtown bar, law-enforcement sources said."

That sucks, big time.

A friend knew him.

RIP

I've gotten pretty wasted a time or two, but wow.
Thats scary... go to bed drunk, and never wake up

I'm sorry to hear that.
I feel for Ted and his family.

Dude...

You must have to drink a fucking inconceivable SHITLOAD of alcohol to die, because I've drank CONCEIVABLE shitloads and still woken up the next morning. Sometimes still drunk, but alive nonetheless.

That being said, RIP.

That is very sad.
My condolences to the Koppel family

I don't like drinking anywhere near enough to even vomit, let alone die.

It is sad, but I feel compelled to post this link, my nephew died (according to the medical examiner) of alcohol poisoning

I can't remember what the guy's first name was any more but back in my old Navy days, I was once stationed with Ted Koppel's brother. He was a really nice guy.
