30,000 Gather in London to Mourn Cambridge Professor Jason Arday

Approximately 30,000 mourners filled Trafalgar Square on August 17 for Jason Arday, the 41-year-old former Cambridge professor found dead August 14, ten days after resigning over what he called "relentless accusations" of plagiarism and biography embellishment. Police are treating the death as "unexpected" but "not believed to be suspicious." Mourners blamed media coverage; a public-inquiry petition has topped 96,000 signatures.
