The widow of a 63-year-old newspaper editor who died from a heart attack following sex with a 23-year-old student today said her husband would have understood his paper's decision to publish the details of the scandal.
Robert J Caldwell, who was the editor of the editorial pages of The Oregonian, allegedly gave the woman money for school expenses for sex.
While Caldwell was visiting her apartment in Tigard, Oregon, on Saturday, the woman noticed he was coughing and unresponsive and called 911.
Police officers and medical staff took him to hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
She said he was a 'kind, loving and fair man' and 'we love him unconditionally'.
The paper, which is based in Portland, had previously reported that the editorial stalwart had been found in his parked car.
But in a correction, it said he became ill after a sex act with a woman who told police she met Caldwell a year ago at Portland Community College.
She claimed Caldwell knew she did not have much money so he gave her money for 'books and other things for school in exchange for sex acts'.
