Inquest opens into 'unnatural death' of ex-Cambridge professor Jason Arday
–
Neutral summary
An inquest into the death of Professor Jason Arday opened on Wednesday at London Inner South Coroner's Court, where senior coroner Julian Morris ordered an investigation into what was described as an 'unnatural death'. Arday, 41, was found unresponsive by family members at his home in south London on August 14, nine days after resigning from his post as professor of sociology of education at Cambridge amid allegations of plagiarism and exaggerated personal achievements. The family said they were 'deeply moved' by support after a GoFundMe page, closed at their request, raised over £224,000.
