The woman who lives in the apartment where TED KOPPEL‘s son died of a drug OD didn’t call 911 immediately.
RadarOnline.com reports Belinda Caban –– who watched TV with a pal for hours while ANDREW KOPPEL, 40, lay dead in her New York City apartment — said if she had known he had taken such a deadly cocktail of drugs, she would have called for help.
Caban was dragged into the drama when her friend Russell Wimberly brought the woozy, heavily-intoxicated son of the ex Nightline newser, to her Washington Heights, New York apartment following a 12-hour booze and drug taking binge May 31.
Unaware he had taken drugs, she simply told her waiter pal to put Koppel in the bedroom to sleep off the booze, where he died and laid undiscovered for hours.
"If I had known he was on drugs then I would have done things differently," Caban ruefully said. "But my friend was saying he was drunk so I took it that way."
A toxicology report revealed that Koppel had a fatal combination of heroin, cocaine, valium and alcohol in his system when he died.
