Ex-Cambridge professor dies week after resigning amid plagiarism allegations

Jason Arday, a former Cambridge University professor of sociology of education, was found dead at age 41 at a south London address in Battersea. Emergency services pronounced him dead at the scene on Friday afternoon. His death follows his abrupt resignation last week amid allegations of plagiarism and questions concerning his academic achievements. Although Arday had denied the claims, the controversy led to his rapid fall from grace shortly before his passing, as confirmed by his family.
