The Lethal Lie: When Deception Becomes a Matter of Life and Death The death of Jason Arday, a former Cambridge professor, has raised questions about the circumstances surrounding his passing.

Arday's behavior fits the definition of "livsløgn," or the "life lie," coined by Henrik Ibsen in The Wild Duck.
