Youngest Black professor at Cambridge who faced plagiarism claims is found dead

Jason Arday, a Cambridge sociologist who resigned amid public plagiarism allegations, was found dead Friday in south London; police say the death is unexpected but not believed to be suspicious.
His family and supporters say a sustained media "campaign of misinformation" and online abuse drove him to step down; his memoir, Great and Unfortunate Things, was released this week despite the controversy.
Cambridge has launched a review of his appointment and its hiring processes after questions about his doctorate and fundraising/athletic claims prompted calls for an independent inquiry.
