"It was horrible, a horrible moment," he said. u00a0Police were called in November to Stephanie's dorm at her university, Hamilton College, and found her unconscious.

A small amount of heroin was found in her room at the 55,000 dollars-a-year liberal arts institution in Kirkland, New York, the Mirror reported.

She recovered in hospital and later charges against her and companion Ian Grant, 21, were dropped due to a local law that prohibits prosecution of people who have had a drugs overdose.u00a0
