Inquest opens into death of ex-Cambridge University professor Jason Arday

An inquest opened in London on Wednesday regarding the sudden death of Jason Arday, a 41-year-old professor at Cambridge University. Arday, who had gained national attention in 2023 as the university's youngest Black professor, was found deceased at a residence earlier this month.

At the time of his passing, Arday had been the subject of public scrutiny following a series of plagiarism allegations. The ongoing inquest aims to establish the formal circumstances surrounding his death.
