Jason Arday, former Cambridge professor, found dead at 41

His death occurred one week after his resignation from Cambridge, amidst public accusations of plagiarism and controversy surrounding his academic background. Arday, who was the youngest Black professor in the university's history, had been at the center of significant controversy in recent weeks. His family stated that a disinformation campaign had been particularly distressing for the academic, and they paid tribute to him as a kind man deeply devoted to his loved ones.

British police have indicated that the circumstances of his death are not considered suspicious at this stage.
