Thousands have been raised for Jason Arday’s family, prompting a public vigil and calls for inquiry into media treatment.
A public vigil for professor Jason Arday is set to take place as a GoFundMe campaign has successfully raised thousands of pounds for his family. Prime Minister Andy Burnham described Arday's passing as a 'tragedy' and emphasized the need for a moment of reflection.
In the wake of Arday's death, there have been calls for a public inquiry regarding the media's treatment of him. Lord Simon Woolley stated that Arday had been 'hounded' by the media and faced relentless scrutiny throughout his career.
