The former Cambridge University professor had resigned amid a plagiarism row and accusations he had fabricated some of his achievements. He denied the claims.

Burnham said this is not a time for judgment, but rather a moment for reflection on how it happened, calling it a “sad and sorry state of affairs.”

Police said they are not treating Arday’s death as suspicious.
