A 41-year-old man was found dead on Friday at a London home connected to Jason Arday, the former Cambridge University scholar whose remarkable rise to stardom was followed by a rapid fall from grace.

The Metropolitan Police of London said in a statement that an ambulance had been called to a residence in South London on Friday afternoon after a report that the man had been found unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
