> British academic and former Cambridge professor Jason Arday was found unresponsive at a south London address, according to media reports citing authorities. He had resigned nine days earlier amid scrutiny of his academic work and allegations that parts of his doctoral thesis were plagiarised. Arday acknowledged mistakes but said he was wrongly portrayed as a liar and academic fraud.
