Ted Koppel's Son Found Dead

Belated condolences go to the family of Ted Koppel, former ABC News anchor, whose son, 40-year-old Andrew Koppel, was found dead last month after a day of bar-hopping.

Andrew Koppel's May 31 death was ruled an accident.

He died from acute intoxication due to the combined effects of alcohol; heroin; cocaine; diazepam, the generic form of Valium; and Levamisole, a drug used to cut other drugs, said Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the city medical examiner's office.

Police had said no criminality was suspected.

I would suggest that the possession and use of at least two of the drugs listed would be considered criminal in most jurisdictions.
