Jason Arday's death 'a tragedy on so many levels', UK PM Andy Burnham says | BBC News

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has described the death of former Cambridge professor Jason Arday as "a tragedy on so many levels", as he called for a "moment for reflection".

Arday was found dead at an address in Battersea, south London, on Friday afternoon.

The 41-year-old had resigned as a professor of sociology of education at the University of Cambridge last week, after allegations of plagiarism and questions about some of his achievements. He had denied the claims.

In a statement issued by his publisher, Arday's family said a "campaign of misinformation" had been too much for him.
