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.

His widow, Lora Cuykendall, today said the journalist 'would have understood why The Oregonian needed to print the story' about the circumstances of his death.

She added that he would have 'regretted the anguish that it caused to those he loves - both outside and inside of the newspaper'.

She said he was a 'kind, loving and fair man' and 'we love him unconditionally'.
