Royal Prank Call Nurse 'Commits Suicide'

[sex]

A nurse working at the hospital treating the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge, who was duped by a prank phone call, has died in a suspected suicide.

Jacintha Saldanha, who has worked at the hospital for four years, was found dead at an address near King Edward VII's hospital in London on Friday morning.http://i.imgur.com/oXXCz.png

The hospital confirmed she had been the victim of a hoax phone call in which two Australian DJs, pretending to be the Queen and Prince of Wales, phoned up about Kate.

Ms Saldanha was the person who first received the call and put it through to the ward where another nurse updated the pair on the Duchess, who was being treated for severe morning sickness.

Kate, who is understood to be well under 12 weeks pregnant, was admitted on Monday after falling ill over the weekend and released again on Thursday.

The Duchess and her husband, William, the Duke of Cambridge, said in a statement that they were "deeply saddened" by the nurse's death.

"Their Royal Highnesses were looked after so wonderfully well at all times by everybody at King Edward VII Hospital, and their thoughts and prayers are with Jacintha Saldanha's family, friends and colleagues at this very sad time," they said.

This is really sad & horrible to hear. The DJ's who rang in the prank call are still boosting about it, they deserved to be fired from their jobs.

[dirrty]

been reading about the DJ's past incidents, and they are seriously ******* *****s. they should be fired for all the things they've done.

[sex]

Just tried to go onto their twitter's where they have been boasting about it, appears they both deleted their accounts.

[Catchy]

Surely there must have been other things going off in her life? Or she at least wasn't emotionally stable? What was said on the prank call because to kill yourself over something like that? Idk just seems odd...

Yeah I think that too, cause apparently she only transferred her to the ward she didn't even give away any personal information.

Yeah she wouldn't of been allowed to so deffo a bigger picture to this story.

[mrwoooooooo]

wasn't the djs fault at all.

probs queen had her killed and had a cover up init

[Red]

What on earth did they say to make her commit suicide :S Sick that they bragged about it. ;/

[wixard]

im gonna assume she got in a good deal of trouble for it, she probably felt quite foolish and embarrassed on top of that, probably other things had been bothering her and this sent her over the edge.

I feel bad for the djs, they hardly knew someone would take their life over it. still reminds me of the movie compliance where I don't know who to feel sorry for

[sex]

wasn't the djs fault at all.

probs queen had her killed and had a cover up init

Well she obviously had underlying mental issues, and the DJS ringing up added with the huge amount of media pressure and criticism that she faced over it added to all that.... she wouldn't have been pushed over the edge if the dj's rang up and could have had more time to get help or whatever?
wixard; it said on another site she was facing no trouble from the hospital and will or kate didn't complain so i guess it was just media pressure and her mental health

[geo]

feel so sorry for the nurse, really never expected it and it's an awful shame, especially as i've seen great things said about her as a nurse. :( not sure how to feel for the djs, it was a really silly prank but i guess they never thought it'd go this far and things.

[buttons]

yeah i feel sorry for them all, if it was just pressure from media or her own mental health then i feel bad for the DJs getting the backlash of it while i feel bad for her for feeling so bad that she had to take her life.

[Red]

Hmm she probably would of got in trouble for divulging Kate's personal information?

Australian radio station says hosts behind Kate Middleton hoax will not return to show until further notice - statement via @NBCNews

[Kardan]

Definitely the radio companys fault. The show was pre-recorded, so much like the whole Ross/Brand scandal with Radio 1, the radio bosses chose to air the prank call, even when they knew that had accidentally got private medical information. The people that decided to broadcast it should have known that there would have been bad implications for the people involved at the hospital.

I mean, if they decided NOT to broadcast this phone call, this nurse would still be alive. At the end of the day, the prank call has ultimately led to events that have caused her to kill herself.

And *why* would you prank a hospital anyway, when people are busy doing their jobs, and saving lives. It's not far off prank calling 999 really.

Of course we don't know the pressure that the hospital put on the two nurses, and that probably had some sort of effect as well.

I mean, if Jonathan Ross and Russel Brand get suspended and fired from BBC Radio 1 for calling some dude's granddaughter a ****, then what the hell should happen to the people involved with this? And just to be clear again, I'm not putting all the blame on the DJs - whoever let it be broadcast is equally as guilty.

[Lee]

Shocking outcome, RIP.

Somebody posted this on FaceBook and I agree with it to a certain extent;


To be fair there's also a fair bit of hypocrisy going on over here as lots of people were posting on FB & Twitter the other day about how funny it was. Nobody could have foreseen this tragic outcome. It's pretty devastating for everyone involved in this from all signs and most of all for the poor nurse. But people crying out about hoax calls being wrong after millions of radio listeners around the world have laughed at them for years, is a little bit hypocritical, I think.


wasn't the djs fault at all.

probs queen had her killed and had a cover up init

Lol.

[-:Undertaker:-]

As sad as the story is, the nurse made the decision to kill herself - nobody 'forced' this on her. It is quite clearly an innocent joke gone far wrong, and we don't know what other issues the nurse had going on. I think for somebody to kill themselves over an incident such as this, especially when their identity remained secret is far overblown.

The only pressure I can think of (that we don't know about) will be the pressure the hospital itself placed on the nurse. But of course, we don't know what has gone or what has been said - but had the event remained small in the public eye and the hospital applied the same pressure - then we could have just as well had the same outcome.

A sad story, but the radio presenters are doing what all radio presenters do - play live pranks, and with this one they just happened to get very lucky in terms of a high profile story.

I do wonder if they regret it, I don't know if they have responded to the news of the receptionists suicide yet?

[Martin]

That's awful :( Her poor family must be hurting so much right now too. I hope the media etc havent caused this by going over the top with it and leading her to feel guilty etc Even if it had been kept private it would have been hard enough, but the way so many people knew would add a lot of pressure I think

[GommeInc]

It doesn't seem like the prank call has anything to do with it - the media didn't really make a big deal out of the hoax call and there wasn't any information suggesting the nurse would be in serious trouble, considering she didn't really give out any details (as far as I am aware at least). As some others have said, there does seem to be something else we're not being told. The DJs are stupid, but I wouldn't say this was their fault -she committed suicide, she wasn't murdered.

[Futz]

pretty disgusting how some people are blaming the djs

[Matthew]

A sad but very strange outcome.

If you listen to the clip from the radio, it doesn't sound real at all..

[Empired]

A sad but very strange outcome.

The DJs did say that they were shocked when they were put through because even they knew that their accents were appalling!

[OldLoveSong]

I had no idea she killed herself D: And i agree the djs should deff be fired.

[MissAlice]

This was definitely a prank that has backfired. When I read about it originally I didn’t find it funny.

The majority of nurses are very dedicated and hard working, and to humiliate the staff involved in the incident must have been highly embarrassing. To them the whole world knew about it, but in all honesty only those that knew them, knew exactly who they were, and their identity wasn’t of interest to anyone I suspect, other than the media perhaps. Maybe there is more to why this nurse chose to take her own life, and I doubt we will ever know, but I do feel very sad for her partner, her two young teenage children who now have no mother and will struggle to come to terms with her suicide and the events leading up to it.

Why were phone calls not vetted? Surely at least one body guard was there!

As for the djs they won’t be laughing now.

RIP

[Samantha]

I don't agree with the DJs boasting about it, a prank call is all fine and good but it looks some people can take it too seriously. She probably did get in trouble for it but there were probably more things surrounding her to begin with.

[Shockwave.2CC]

Them DJs should feel ashamed of their selves

[JerseySafety]

Thats actually horrible, glad they were stood-down from their jobs, looking at their previous incidents more should be done. Giving Australia a bad name doing rubbish like this ten bragging about it.

[Eric]

How dreadful, well i wouldn't call that a prank call, it's technically an invasion of privacy

[the.games]

Personally I think it's terrible that a radio DJ can brag about a prank call that led to suicide. I would hope that something could be done against the DJ's, but in this day and age I seriously doubt it.

[Cassiieee]

Don't even know what to say, tbh. ;/

[GommeInc]

On the radio the other day one of the news readers said "It's a tragic story. But what makes no sense is that the DJs thought it was clever to prank call a hospital, which is never right and completely irresponsible." That sort of sums up my thoughts on it now.

[scottish]

Jacintha Saldanha, 46, died on Friday, days after she answered a prank phone call from Australian DJs pretending to be the Queen and Prince Charles.

An inquest into the apparent suicide is due to be opened this week.

The DJs responsible have been taken off air and are receiving counselling.

Southern Cross Austereo, owner of 2Day FM, held an emergency board meeting on Sunday, but made no comment afterwards.

It has suspended all advertising on the station until Monday, while DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian are on indefinite leave.

The pair are said to be in a fragile condition and receiving "intense counselling", because of the hostile reaction to their prank.

Meanwhile, the Duke of Cambridge has cancelled his appearance at the British Military Tournament at Earl's Court in London on Sunday.

A St James's Palace spokesman said he would spend the day "privately with the duchess instead".

Regarding official contact, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "Officers have been in contact with Australian authorities."

In certain circumstances, including when a death is sudden or unexpected, police report deaths to a coroner and can be involved in investigating the circumstances.

The deputy commissioner for New South Wales Police, Nick Kaldas, said: "They haven't actually asked us to do anything yet, but we've certainly opened up the lines of communication and obviously we're happy to assist in any way we can."

He added: "All I can say at the moment is that it's been indicated that the London Metropolitan Police may wish to speak to the people involved in the matter from 2Day FM.

"But we haven't been asked to do anything yet, and we certainly have not been asked to interview anyone, or line up any interviews for the Met."

Legal experts say that the DJs are unlikely to be prosecuted in Australia or the UK because they had not shown "guilty intent," reported BBC correspondent Phil Mercer in Sydney.

However, the radio pair may well have violated the Surveillance Devices Act in the state of New South Wales. It prohibits the broadcasting of private conversations acquired using a "listening device".

Station bosses say no laws were broken and that the pre-recorded spoof interview had been approved by lawyers before it was aired.

The company board, including chairman Max Moore-Wilton, met on Sunday, but are not expected to release a statement until Monday.

They discussed the strongly worded letter received from the chairman of King Edward VII's Hospital, where Catherine was being treated for acute morning sickness last week.

In it, Lord Glenarthur said it was "truly appalling" that the call, in which Mrs Saldanha transfers the caller to the duchess' nurse believing it to be the Queen, was approved by radio management before broadcast.

Lord Glenarthur also said in his letter: "The immediate consequence of these premeditated and ill-considered actions was the humiliation of two dedicated and caring nurses who were simply doing their job tending to their patients.

"The longer term consequence has been reported around the world and is, frankly, tragic beyond words."

He urged Mr Moore-Wilton to ensure such an incident was never repeated.

A bouquet of flowers was left outside the hospital accommodation where Mrs Saldanha was found on Friday. An attached note said: "We bless your soul."

While Mrs Saldanha's husband and two children were being comforted at their home in Bristol, her extended family in her native India were coming to terms with her death.

Her sister-in-law told AFP news agency from south-west India: "We were shocked to hear from her husband that Jacintha was no more. He did not tell us that she committed suicide."

She added: "Today we are going to the church to pray for her soul and for her children, who are going through a bad time."

Royal College of Nursing chief executive Peter Carter said the death was "a tragedy that was avoidable".

"This is the fallout from these hoaxes. We've seen them in the past. Rarely does it have the dramatic effect that it has had on this occasion."

Legal experts say that Australian DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian are unlikely to be prosecuted at home or in the UK over the tragic royal hospital prank because they hadn't shown "guilty intent."

However, the radio pair may well have violated the Surveillance Devices Act in the state of New South Wales. It prohibits the broadcasting of private conversations acquired using a "listening device".

Sanctions could also be imposed by the Australian Communications and Media Authority. It is investigating whether 2Day FM breached its licence conditions or industry rules. ACMA could strip the station of its right to broadcast, although that is unlikely.

Station bosses continue to stress that no laws were broken and that the pre-recorded spoof interview had been scrutinised and approved by lawyers before it was aired.

Any pain the commercial radio network will feel will probably be financial, in the short term at least. Several anxious advertisers have already abandoned 2Day FM in response to a largely hostile reaction from the Australian public.

[peteyt]

been reading about the DJ's past incidents, and they are seriously ******* *****s. they should be fired for all the things they've done.

Haven't read all the posts but can't people see it was meant for a joke, a bit of humour. They didn't even expect to get through and as they have said their mock accents where crap.

The fact someone has killed themselves, importantly not the person who actually gave the private information out is really bizarre and makes me wonder like others if she had some issues previously.

[RyRy]

I feel sorry for the DJs and the families of the DJs as well as the family of the nurse who died. I'm sure when they thought the idea up they didn't expect to get through, because there must be some kind of protocol to make sure that doesn't happen. Then somebody commits suicide, I mean how could you factor in that possibility?!

I worry for how this is going to affect the Radio industry as a whole, Ofcom will come down on prank calls like a ton of bricks, over the worry that the victims of the pranks will try and top themselves. The DJs have said they want to come out to the media to say what they have to say, and I bet you they'll be 100% regretting it. Might have been a tasteless prank, but it's been blown way out of proportion.

[Stephen]

Tbh I just think it's disgusting that they thought it would be okay to prank call a hospital

Also ngl but if I was her and received a call on a phone that surely some random pranksters shouldn't have then I wouldn't be like sorry **** off you're not the queen

just imagine if it was the queen even if the accent sounded dodgy

[Inseriousity.]

sorry **** off you're not the queen

just imagine if it was the queen even if the accent sounded dodgy

lol I thought the same thing. you wouldn't want to risk it just in case!

[Grig]

It's not the DJs faults. Morally, yes it would be wrong, but in reality if the hospital puts through someone with a poor accent and has no back-up checks, that institution is to blame. Thus, it could be argued that the hospital needed to put through checks to mitigate such incidents.

The fact that they went overboard and boasted about it is a step to far. Should they lose their jobs over it? No. Should be learn lessons from this? Yes.

Wasting hospital resources and having the idea that prank calling one is a clever one is rather immoral. This institution (hospital) isn't to blame, if anything the fault lies with the radio station for giving the show the go-ahead with this recorded prank call. It's poor taste, and prank calls are so incredibly outdated these days - am I right in saying Aussie comedy is a decade behind us?

What's weird is that the recording of the show wasn't funny at all. The details the nurse gave were so mundane and uninteresting, and the DJs just sounded like a bunch of giggling children that I sort of feel embarassed for them for doing such a show and even more so that a alleged suicide has resulted from it.

Anyone interested in knowing one major argument against the radio station - look up the Tort "egg shell/thin skull" principles. Basically a suicide resulting from an action may not be reasonably foreseeable, but if the victim is "fragile" then, regardless of the foreseeability of the action, the accused is at fault.

You and I may not find it funny, but you have to entertain the common Joe, and a lot of the time such sly comedy works. It clearly fell through majorly in this instance though.

The Australian radio station whose DJs made a hoax call to a nurse who was later found dead is to give at least £320,000 to a fund for her family.

Sydney broadcaster 2Day FM said it would donate the money from its advertising profits.

Jacintha Saldanha transferred the call to a colleague who gave information about the Duchess of Cambridge, who was a patient at the London hospital.

Mrs Saldana's post mortem is to take place later.

She answered the Australian presenters' call in the early hours of the morning on 4 December and, believing they were members of the Royal Family, put them through to another nurse, who gave an update on the duchess's condition in detail.

The duchess was being treated in the King Edward VII's Hospital for hyperemesis gravidarum, an extreme form of morning sickness.

Mrs Saldanha, 46, was pronounced dead on Friday morning at staff accommodation close to the hospital. An inquest into her apparent suicide is due to be opened in the next few days.

'Loving mother'
The company which owns the station, Southern Cross Austereo, said all profits from advertising on 2Day FM for the rest of the year would be donated to an appropriate memorial fund that would directly benefit the family, with at least 500,000 Australian dollars (£320,000) being donated.

Rhys Holleran, SCA's chief executive, said: "We are very sorry for what has happened. It is a terrible tragedy and our thoughts continue to be with the family.

"We hope that by contributing to a memorial fund we can help to provide the Saldanha family with the support they need at this very difficult time."

It also cancelled its Christmas party, saying it would be "inappropriate" to go ahead.

Mrs Saldanha's family made a private visit to King Edward VII's Hospital in London, where she worked, on Monday.

MP Keith Vaz, who met Mrs Saldanha's family in Parliament on Monday night, said they had been left "devastated" by the loss of "a loving mother and a loving wife".

Flanked by Mrs Saldanha's husband Benedict Barboza and her two teenage children, Mr Vaz said: "They just want me to say that they are extremely grateful to the public here in the United Kingdom and throughout the world who have sent them messages of condolences and support following the death of Jacintha.

"This is a close family. They are devastated by what has happened. They miss her every moment of every day, but they are really grateful to the support of the British public and to the public overseas for the messages of support and kindness."

'Gutted and heartbroken'
Mr Vaz had earlier criticised the hospital for not giving the family more support.

He said: "The hospital has sent them a letter, which I have seen, but I'm surprised that nobody has made the journey to Bristol to sit with them and offer them the counselling that I think they need."

In response, the hospital said its chief executive, John Lofthouse, had spoken to Mr Barboza on Friday by phone and offered to meet him whenever he wanted.

The hospital has launched a memorial fund to support the nurse's family and a private memorial service will be held later this week.

In the hoax call, the presenters, Michael Christian and Mel Greig, had pretended to be Prince Charles and the Queen asking about the duchess in hospital.

They said in a tearful interview with Australian television broadcast on Monday that they were "gutted and heartbroken" Mrs Saldanha's death.

Christian said: "It was something that was just fun and light-hearted and a tragic turn of events no-one could have predicted or expected.

"We are shattered, heartbroken and our deepest sympathy goes to the family, friends and all those people affected. Mel and myself are incredibly sorry for the situation and what's happened."

Meanwhile, the Duchess of Cambridge has cancelled an appearance at the premiere of the Hobbit on Wednesday. Her office says she will continue to "rest privately" at home. Prince William is due to attend.

She was being treated in the hospital for hyperemesis gravidarum, an extreme form of morning sickness.

I've read about this a few days ago. I think prank calls could be "harmful" sometimes.

I think you should face criminal charges for prank calling a hospital, fire-station, police-station or any other service where intentionally causing mistakes can potentially cause death.

Thread: Royal Prank Call Nurse 'Commits Suicide'

[:Markster:]

Well that's a bit weak that the DJs should get full blame, I mean don't get me wrong, they were off the charts in the wrong for pulling such a prank call, but then again if someone just offs themselves because they've turned into a victim of a prank call then that doesn't make sense. The nurse must have had something else going on in her life and the prank call was just one of many factors that made her do what she did.

Hence the eggshell skull rule of tort. If she was vulnerable or weak, such as having problems at home or work, or unknown stress, the one who caused the tort (the wrong: the prank call) becomes increasingly liable. Obviously they are not entirely to blame as it seems it is standard practice for this radio station to have the DJs pre-record a clip for a show and have it reviewed by their superiors, and it seems these superiors are neglectful too for allowing such a ridiculous clip (and show) to ever be broadcast. Wasting hospital resources is incredibly stupid, it's amazing alarm bells were not ringing in the heads of these tiny minded DJs and station managers.

Kate Middleton hoax call nurse 'left suicide note criticizing senior hospital staff over her treatment in days leading up to her death'
Devastated Jacintha Saldanha left three suicide notes following prank call
She used one note to 'criticise hospital over her treatment', sources say
Mother-of-two also described her struggle to come to terms with the hoax
Student nurses in India held a candlelit vigil to pray for 'excellent nurse', 46
Grieving husband calls for an inquiry into exactly what happened

The nurse found dead following a hoax call to the hospital treating the Duchess of Cambridge criticised senior colleagues over her treatment in one of three suicide notes, it has emerged.
An inquest heard that Jacintha Saldanha, 46, left three emotional suicide notes following the prank call by Australian DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian.
But it has emerged today that in one of the notes she has criticised colleagues at the King Edward VII hospital over her treatment following the controversial call.

It is believed the nurse's suicide note has left her grieving family furious, with husband Ben Barboza understood to want an inquiry into the hospital.
He is also believed to want an independent investigation into what happened in the days leading up to the death of his wife, for whom student nurses in Bangalore, India, held a candlelit vigil overnight.

The nurses, who were seen walking the streets holding candles and reciting prayers in tribute to the mother of two, demanded an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding her death.
'It is very unfortunate for a nurse, who was in a peak of her career had to die in a very bad way from the royal prank played by some foolish people,' said one attendee named as Ravi.
'This nurse was traumatised so much that she could not face anybody and committed a suicide. We pray for her soul to rest in peace and her family to come out of the incident.'
A nurse named as Vijaylaxmi said at the march organised by a local politician: 'We are here to pray for nurse Jacintha's family, so my kind request is that proper investigation has to be done and it is a major issue, we cannot leave this issue.'
Speaking to the Daily Mirror about Mrs Saldanha's suicide notes, a source close to the family said: 'One of the letters, which is the longest, deals with the hospital and is critical in its tone.
'Needless to say, Ben wants a full inquiry into what happened and he wants to make sure the truth comes out.
'Within the letter, Jacintha calls into question some of the treatment she received at the hospital.'
In another note, the mother-of two describes how she struggled to come to terms with the prank call by the two Australian DJs. The third and final letter is practical and deals with her funeral plans.
The body of the mother-of-two was discovered in her room in staff quarters last Friday.
Two of the notes were found nearby and a third was among her possessions.
