PM Andy Burnham calls Jason Arday's death a "tragedy on so many levels"
The Prime Minister told reporters during a Cornwall visit that people should avoid rushing to judgement over the 41-year-old's passing. The academic was discovered at a Battersea property on Friday, shortly after he resigned over disputed research copying claims. Arday had rejected the allegations, while his relatives stated a recent misinformation campaign had become too much to handle.
