Jason Arday, the professor at the University of Cambridge who became embroiled in controversy over plagiarism, has been found dead at his home in London. By all appearances, it was suicide. Several British newspapers report this. Arday resigned from Cambridge last week.

Thus, one of the greatest academic scandals of modern times has come to a tragic end.

The ambulance service was alerted at around 3 p.m. on Friday. It confirmed that a person was dead at the address in Battersea. At around 8.30 p.m., a private black ambulance left the address. Arday had a wife and two children. The family issued a statement.
