Jacintha Saldanha, pictured left, is a 46 year old nurse who is said to have killed herself three days after being a victim of a hoax caller pretending to be the Queen. She was found dead on Friday morning in the nurses’ accommodation at the hospital.
Mrs Saldanha, three days before her death, was manning the hospital switchboard where Kate Middleton was taken to for acute morning sickness when she took a call from two Australian radio presenters – Mel Greig and Michael Christian, pictured right, impersonating the Queen and Prince Charles. They were transferred to the Duchess’s ward and broadcast confidential information given to them by a second nurse.
Friends said Mrs Saldanha took the incident very badly when prank was broadcast, despite the fact she wasn't in any way blamed for what happened.
Her family and friends are currently devasted and an autopsy is to be carried out today, on the corpse.
May her soul rest in peace.
the RJ's must be charged with the crime of abatement to commit suicide & must be strictly dealt with. its high time that the so called fourth pillar of democracy 'media' acknowledges its responsibilities. in my opinion the embarrassing affect of the prank was very much foreseeable. these crocodile tears are not going to bring the poor soul back in this mortal world. they should be imprisoned in addition to be banned from serving in the industry for life time. even these RJ's must pay for the prank..........the poor girl paid with her life. damn....i m utterly disgusted.
