    a prank too far? a nurse found dead

    http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/07/world/europe/uk-royal-hospital-death/index.html?hpt=hp_t1


    London (CNN) -- A nurse at the hospital who was duped by a prank call from two Australian radio DJs concerning Prince William's pregnant wife, Catherine, has apparently committed suicide, the hospital confirmed Friday.

    The nurse "was recently the victim of a hoax call," King Edward VII Hospital said in a media statement.

    The DJs impersonated Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles in the prank call, in which some details of the Duchess of Cambridge's condition and care were given.

    The nurse who died was the person who first took the hoax call and transferred it through to Catherine's ward, the hospital's public relations company said.

    The hospital named her as Jacintha Saldanha and said she had worked there for more than four years as an "excellent nurse," well-respected by co-workers.

    I believe there is more to this than meets the eye. What do you think?

    Although it was a stupid, thoughtless prank that went completely wrong.
    I cant blame the talk show hosts for this death. We don't know what went on in Saldana's life.

    It's all over the news here and the show has been yanked off the radio.

    What I don't get is...how can you commit suicide over a prank like this? Sounds like the nurse may have had some personal problems.

    THe woman must have been emotionally troubled if a silly prank call sent her over the edge.
    I bet her supervisor ripped her a new asshole after the prank was exposed.

    Even though the radio DJ's couldn't have predicted a death would occur. They had to have known that someone was going to get in trouble, and that there would be fallout. But I guess they couldn't let that get in the way of a good "giggle".
