Jason Arday, the former Cambridge University professor at the centre of a plagiarism scandal, has been found dead at his home in Battersea, UK media reported on Friday.
Arday resigned from his post at Cambridge University last week shortly after the prestigious British institution announced a probe into the various accusations against him.
He made headlines when the university appointed him as its youngest black professor in 2023 but he since faced snowballing claims he plagiarised parts of his PhD thesis.
