63-Year-Old Man Dies After Having Sex With 23-Year

A married 63-year-old newspaper editor has died after going into cardiac arrest following sex with a 23-year-old student in her apartment. 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.



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’.



The woman, who has not been identified, told police he had not given her money on Saturday, and officers will not pursue prostitution charges.



Caldwell’s family was notified of his death on Saturday evening.



He lived with his wife, Lora Cuykendall, a former journalist, and their youngest daughter, Ellie, a high school student, in Portland.
