In London, thousands have gathered at Trafalgar Square for a vigil in memory of Jason Arday. The former professor at the University of Cambridge was found dead last week at the age of 41.
Arday had recently resigned following allegations of plagiarism and lying about his CV. The circumstances of his death raise questions, with suspicions that he may have taken his own life.
The police have confirmed that there are no indications of foul play. This detail emerges from various reports on the situation.
