Ted Koppel's son, Andrew, found dead


NEW YORKThe 40-year-old son of former ABC News anchor Ted Koppel was found dead in an apartment in upper Manhattan, and the cause of death is being investigated, authorities said Tuesday.

Andrew Koppel was declared dead around 1:30 a.m. Monday in the apartment in the Washington Heights neighborhood, Detective John Sweeney said.

Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the city medical examiner, said an autopsy was performed Monday but results were pending further study, including toxicology and tissue testing.

1. That's devastatingly sad. nt

2. Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. nt

3. Be careful

I posted this earlier and a self-appointed Dupe Nanny told me the story had been posted 4 times already.

So I proudly kick this just to irritate him. :D

[Liberal_in_LA]

4. ooops. Sorry. DUPE

[Seneca]

5. No! Let's keep this kicked.

:evilgrin:

Some people need to let the mods do their jobs, and quit trying to BE the mods.

8. Well, the rule is that a story needs to be posted at least 6 times here.

So there really is no point in doing search to see if it has been posted before. Screw the "good citizens" crap.

[Seneca]

10. I can't search

I don't have a star.

[elocs]

11. Well, I searched all the time when I did not have a star.

The box on the top right which says: "NEW! Google search DU or the Web". Just pick DU and you can tell if a thread has been posted. If it has you can bring it back to the top of its forum by responding to it.

12. It's more fun when the Dupe Nannies get lathered up

Your way sounds like too much work.

[elocs]

13. Well, when you post a new thread it does say: "Good citizens check for duplicates! "

but what does Skinner and the DU mods know?

[Seneca]

14. Yes, and I checked that list

And I checked the entire front 2 pages. The story was in neither realm.

So I am a good enough citizen.

Seneca 1, Dupe Nannies 0.
