Royal Prank Call Nurse 'Commits Suicide'

I personally have never met a nasty Aussie, Sabot. But every nation on earth is blighted by idiots and nasties, and unfortunately they always make more noise and demand more attention than the good guys.

If it is like this country..then the shows producer has to give the ok for stuff going on the show..

Most run orders are done the day before

It would not surprise me if the pair of halfwits decided they had got such a 'scoop', they asked the tealady if she thought it would be OK, and went ahead and broadcast it WITHOUT proper clearance.

They are only showing ""ahem"" remorse because of what has happened and everyone is against them.

Oh do come on. We all know that this was not acceptable, and so do they. It was just a question of how much money they would make for whoever. Or even if it mattered. Sadly, it doesn't matter.
We all go on defending The McCanns. But we don't actually need to.

Jacintha Saldanha suicide note criticised hospital staff
Inquest hears that nurse who died after Duchess of Cambridge hoax call left three letters before apparently taking her own life

The Guardian, Thursday 13 December 2012 19.47 GMT

One of three apparent suicide notes left by the nurse at the centre of the royal hoax phone call criticised staff at the King Edward VII hospital where she worked, the Guardian has learned.

Jacintha Saldanha, 46, was found hanged in her apartment in the nurses' quarter of the hospital in Marylebone, central London, by a colleague and a security officer, an inquest into her death heard on Thursday. Three notes were found, two at the scene and one in the nurse's belongings.

She was found dead three days after two DJs rang the hospital from Australia posing as the Queen and Prince Charles in a prank call which Saldanha answered and put through to another nurse on the ward where the Duchess of Cambridge was being treated for morning sickness.

The dead woman's family has been given typed copies of the three handwritten notes by the police and has read the contents, the Guardian has been told.

One note deals with the hoax call by the DJs from 2Day FM, another details her requests for her funeral, and the third addresses her employers, the hospital, and contains criticism of staff there, the Guardian understands from two separate sources.

The Westminster coroner, Dr Fiona Wilcox, was told at the formal opening of the inquest that she had been found hanging in her apartment and there were also injuries to her wrists.

The hearing was told that paramedics who attended the scene in Weymouth Street made several attempts to revive her.

Scotland Yard is investigating a number of emails which the inquest heard were relevant to the nurse's death, as well as telephone calls made to and from her phone in the days before her death.

The Labour MP Keith Vaz, who is acting as a spokesman for Saldanha's husband and two children, published a letter from him to John Lofthouse, chief executive of the King Edward Vll hospital, calling for the "full facts" of what happened to be given to the family.

Earlier this week the nurse's family met Lofthouse and handed over a list of questions they want answered. Vaz said in his letter to Lofthouse: "I have dealt with similar cases in the past and I would agree with the prime minister that the family need to get the full facts, from the time she took the call from 2Day FM to the time she was found in her accommodation.

"The family gave you a list of questions that they wish the hospital to answer so that they can have the full facts of the case. I know they would appreciate answers to their questions in writing as soon as possible. They may also have additional questions."

Detective Chief Inspector James Harman said at the inquest that the Metropolitan police would be contacting officers in New South Wales as part of its inquiry. He said: "On Friday 7 December Jacintha Saldanha was found by colleagues and a member of security staff. At this time there are no suspicious circumstances apparent to me in relation to this death.

"A number of notes were recovered. Two notes were at the scene and a further note was found in the deceased's belongings. Three notes in total."

Saldanha, a mother of two, was identified by her husband, an accountant, the inquest heard.

Harman told the hearing: "There are a number of emails that are of relevance in helping us establish what may have led to this death and we are also looking at the deceased's telephone contacts. Detectives spoke to a number of witnesses, family, friends and colleagues in order to establish anything that led or may have contributed to this tragic death."

Saldanha was found three days after the DJs made the prank call. As the nurse on duty, she took the call and put it through to a colleague on the ward where the Duchess of Cambridge was being treated for morning sickness, who gave out information about her condition.

Harman told the coroner: "You will be aware of the wider circumstances of this case. And I expect in the very near future we shall be in contact with colleagues in New South Wales to establish the best means of putting the evidence before you."

The coroner's officer Lynda Martindill told the hearing that Saldanha, born in India, was a registered nurse and night nurse. Toxicology and histology test results were pending.

Adjourning the inquest until 26 March, Wilcox spoke directly to Saldanha's colleagues who attended the hearing. She said: "I wish to pass on my sympathy to you and her family and all those touched by this terribly tragic death"."

A spokeswoman for the hospital said no one in senior management knew what the contents of the notes left by Saldanha were. She said the hospital management "were very clear that there were no disciplinary issues in this matter".

Both the nurses involved had been offered "full support" and "it was made clear they were victims of a cruel journalistic trick", she said.

The hospital has offered bereavement counselling for the family in Bristol, which they have decided to take up, according to Vaz.

The family did not attend the hearing. Speaking outside the inquest Vaz said Saldanha's relatives were "grieving in their homes … They are comforting each other and the community is comforting them".

He said he had passed on the coroner's comments. The family were grateful to the coroner's office and Metropolitan police, he added.

A memorial service will be held in Bristol. A mass will be held in the chapel at Westminster Cathedral on Saturday.

Thanks, LL. I have no idea how these things work, if the contents of the letters, etc., are made public. They may well have to be, at the March inquest?

I don't know, bonny. It may be up to the coroner to decide on that - as there has been such a hoohah re this, he/she may decide the comments in the notes are better left undisclosed, perhaps ask the family what they would prefer. LL

Detective Chief Inspector James Harman said at the inquest that the Metropolitan police would be contacting officers in New South Wales as part of its inquiry.

I cannot help suspecting that the moron DJs thought they could waffle their way out of this.

Some ossies just love bashing the Brits, especially the Royal Family; well, why don't they leave the Commonwealth asap, can't say I'd be sorry to see them go. LL

I wonder what more will be discovered involving the authors of such despicable pranks.

Quote:

The nurse at the centre of the royal prank call was the "victim of a cruel hoax", the hospital has insisted.

King Edward VII Hospital stressed that Jacintha Saldanha was not subject to any disciplinary procedure and that there had been no criticism of her.

In a statement released as the hospital held a memorial service for the nurse, who took her own life, it said that it had offered her support in the aftermath of the hoax call.

The comments come after claims in The Guardian that Ms Saldanha left three notes, one of which criticised staff at the hospital.

The hospital said that he could not comment on the contents of the notes found in Ms Saldhana's room in the nurses accommodation because he had not seen them.

The statement said: "There have been reports today about the alleged contents of one of the notes found in Jacintha's room. No-one at the hospital has seen these notes, and so we cannot comment on the reports or their accuracy."

It added: "Following the hoax call, hospital management offered her their support and told her that they considered her the victim of a cruel hoax. They stood by her actions, and made it clear there was no criticism of her, and that there would be no disciplinary action of any kind."

The hospital held a memorial service to allow friends and colleagues to pay their respects, a week after Ms Saldanha's death.

=========

IMO, it is entirely possible that the hospital did and said little about it, beyond, Don't be so silly next time.

BUT - other staff may have teased Jacinta, and laughed at her for falling for the Aussie morons.

And I personally DO regard the 'prank' as malicious - what else can a 'joke' at the expense of an ill, pregnant woman, and hospital staff, possibly be except malicious?

And the truth starts to come out - as many suspected, we didn't hear all of the phone call/s.

The nurse who committed suicide after the royal hoax phone call left a note telling the two DJs behind the prank they were responsible for her death, according to sources close to the family.
In one of three apparent suicide notes, Jacintha Saldanha wrote a short letter in which she expressed her deep anger at the Australian radio presenters and blamed them for her tragic death.
Ms Saldanha, 46, was found hanged with a scarf at her accommodation at the King Edward VII's Hospital in London, where the Duchess of Cambridge was being treated for severe morning sickness

The Mail on Sunday understands that one of the DJs telephoned the hospital back within an hour of the call and spoke to Ms Saldanha again, telling her they had played a prank which they were about to broadcast.
The revelation is believed to have left Ms Saldanha, who had no experience of dealing with the media, feeling confused and agitated.

It will be no surprise to anyone that sicko Aussie hounder 'Estelle', she of the special friends with benefits, has been trying to pretend that the Aussie Whingers had nothing to do with Jacinta's death.

The Mail on Sunday has also been informed that in another, one-page letter, Ms Saldanha criticised 'aspects of the hospital staff', and singled out two individuals for blame.
Although the hospital has repeatedly said no senior member of staff blamed Ms Saldanha for falling victim to the prank and provided her with support, it is understood she may have been reprimanded by colleagues by email.
Asked if Ms Saldanha received a 'ticking-off' by senior colleagues, a family friend yesterday replied: 'What do you think?'

I suspect Jacinta did indeed get told not to be so silly in future by her bosses - but got nasty emails from a couple of colleagues.

On top of the Aussie Morons phoning back to gloat - the station didn't mention that, did they?

No wonder they paid out so quickly.

A large number of comments in The Mail are really disgusting, and all of the kind ones supporting Jacintha and her family have been red arrowed.
What on earth is the matter with these people.

And Yes, I bet she did get some nasty comments from some of her colleagues.

to those who criticizes the deceased nurse or her grieving family, I ask you this: who are you, or what right have you to criticize? don´t you think that Jacinta´s family have enough pain about this sad situation, and you people, with your disgusting comments pours more pain in that grieving family.

shame on you people.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

if someone wishes to write my comment inside link above, feel free to do it.

Well said, Pedro.

A couple of weeks ago, Jacinta was just an ordinary woman, with her own worries, and her own pleasures - I doubt if she liked having to work away from her family, but she took her position very seriously, and was proud of it.

Then a couple of airhead Aussie morons decided to target her for a deeply unfunny 'prank' - and destroyed her. Those two are the catalyst for the whole thing; they didn't care who was on the receiving end of their malicious phone call, all they cared about was their LAFFS.

And I use the word 'malicious' deliberately; what else can you call people who target an ill, pregnant woman, and nursing staff?

Now it seems there was more than one phone call, as a lot of us suspected.

The Aussie Whingers forgot to mention that when they were shedding their crocodile tears. Never mind, they can explain it all to the police.

If she had been having a confrontation with a colleague, this in itself is very stressful, especially if it was couple with nasty remarks, so The Hoax and more nasty remarks could well have been the last straw.
I was subjected to false accusations fairly recently and it nearly did my head in because it was so unfair. One of my sons had to tell me to drop it and move on, although I very much doubt I would have committed suicide over it. But then my name and the false accusations weren't plastered all over The Press and I wasn't left feeling as though I had let someone down.
