Bob Caldwell, editor of The Oregonian's editorial pages, was in the Tigard apartment of a 23-year-old woman when he went into cardiac arrest Saturday afternoon.

The woman called 9-1-1 at 4:43 p.m. to report that Caldwell, 63, was coughing and then unresponsive after a sex act. Washington County sheriff's officers and medical personnel responded and transported him to Providence St. Vincent Medical Center, where he later was pronounced dead.

The woman told deputies she met Caldwell about a year ago at Portland Community College. Caldwell, she said, knew she didn't have much money, so he provided her cash for books and other things for school in exchange for sex acts at her apartment.

Caldwell had not given her money Saturday, she told deputies. They decided against pursuing prostitution charges. Deputies notified Caldwell's family of his death Saturday evening.

The Oregonian previously erroneously reported that Caldwell had been found in his parked car on Saturday, based on information from a family friend.

I could only make it through about 4 minutes—blood pressure you know.

Disgusting and arrogant.

The real issue is “Did she have birth control coverage funded by her school’s medical insurance plan!!!”

It's just a hunch but I don't think the "sex act" here involved the possibility of pregnancy.

Rocky didn’t die of a heart attack, it was low blood pressure; 23 over 75.

At the risk of being mean, Persevero-my collegue was not endorsing adultery, or any such thing-he is a churchgoing family man I’ve worked with for 14 + years-he was repeating a very common joke I’m pretty sure men have been making since language was invented. What a dire and dreary world it would be without jokes...

As a recent widow who saw my husband die before his time over several awful months-from a deadly reaction to medical steroid treatments-I’ll pray for quick, Alaska-I agree with you 100%.

Humm...doubt his wife and kids would agree. What an embarrasment to them to now "live" with. not to mention the awkwardness of his funneral. And this being plastered in the news......Quite the legacy he's left them with.

Some of the commenters at O-Live are claiming they should take down the whole article because it hurts his family. Caldwell is the one who has hurt his family.

Bet they wouldn't be saying that if he were a Republican politician.

So he had a family but decided prostitutes were a better deal. Seems the man had some real problems that he never confronted. A very sad end!

Maybe his wife stopped having sex and he would be screwed $$ if he asked for a divorce? Maybe he tried everything in the book to get his wife more passionate and she still say's no??

I've heard it took the mortician three days to get the smile off his face.

23?

Yep, that would send me into cardiac arrest!

At this point in my life, I'm almost afraid to even look at 23-year-olds. :=)

Is Obama going to call the woman to console her?

No, but Bill Clinton will...
