Photo of Professor Malcolm Heath at his desk at the University of Leeds
Leeds Classics is deeply sad to learn that our colleague Malcolm Heath died peacefully yesterday. Since his retirement in 2022 he had unfortunately been in ill health, but he was well supported by friends and family, and when colleagues from the department visited in November he was in good spirits.
