Inquest Opens Into Death of Cambridge’s Young Black Professor in Plagiarism Row

An inquest has opened into the death of Jason Arday, Cambridge's youngest-ever Black professor and a central figure in a plagiarism controversy. Arday was found dead at his London home days after resigning; police said the death was unexpected and not believed to be suspicious. The coroner indicated the death is being treated as possibly unnatural. Arday denied plagiarism but acknowledged errors, attributing some to autism and mimicry, and his family described their shock as his memoir is due to be published.
