After a daylong drinking ordeal, Andrew Koppel, 40, was found dead in a NYC apartment.  Koppel had started drinking around noon yesterday and met up with another gentleman.  Shortly thereafter, the two men began to hop from bar to bar and continued on in to the night until Koppel was finally brought to an apartment in Washington Heights, where he would be found dead later last night.

Andrew Koppel was convicted in 1993 of punching out a senatorial aide in a drunken dust-up in DC and was ordered into alcohol treatment. Three years earlier, he got into a drunken fender bender while driving his father’s Mercedes in their home state of Maryland.
