The Sunday Times of January 19 2014 the paper included the story
here,
'Twitter peer dies after libel torment.' Lord McAlpine's solicitor Andrew Reid said:
"For those who put him through the stress and worry of having to take legal action, I hope that their consciences are troubled by their ill-informed and unnecessary allegations... I hope there’s a lesson in this — that people get their facts right before they open their mouths or go on Twitter."
Lord Tebbit, who was Conservative party chairman when Lord McAlpine was treasurer, said:
"I think he was... deeply upset that anybody would for a moment believe [the allegations about] him."
