Coroner Julian Morris said 30,000 people attended a vigil as police found no signs of foul play and he awaited reports on the sudden death.
- On Wednesday, an inquest opened at London Inner South Coroner's Court into the death of Professor Jason Arday, with Coroner Dr. Julian Morris stating he suspects Arday died an "unnatural death" 12 days ago in Battersea.

- More than 7,900 donors contributed over 224,000 pounds to a memorial fundraiser for Arday, with Sir Patrick Vernon stating the family is "deeply moved by the extraordinary support" they have received.
- Arday's memoir, "Great And Unfortunate Things," is scheduled for publication in the UK on Thursday, detailing his journey from a non-verbal child to Cambridge's youngest Black professor.
- Nathan Cofnas, who raised the qualifications questions, was suspended from Ghent University last week, while the Belgian institution stated Arday's death "should prompt reflection" regarding its opposition to "discrimination, hatred and racism.
