Wetcoaster Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Suicide by hanging is being put forward at the coroner's inquest into the death of nurse Jacintha Saldanha. An inquest into the apparent suicide of a nurse duped by a hoax call from Australian DJs about the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge heard Thursday that she was found hanging in her room, had wrist injuries and left three notes. Coroner's officer Lynda Martindill said nurse Jacintha Saldanha was discovered hanging by a scarf from a wardrobe in her nurses' quarters on Friday by a colleague and a member of security staff at London's King Edward VII Hospital. Martindill said an attempt to revive Saldanha failed. The case is being treated as an apparent suicide. Police detective chief inspector James Harman said Saldanha, 46, also had injuries to her wrists. He told the inquest at Westminster Coroner's Court that two notes were found at the scene and another among Saldanha's belongings. He said there were no suspicious circumstances, meaning nobody else was involved in Saldanha's death. Harman said that police were examining the notes, interviewing the nurse's friends, family and colleagues and looking at emails and phone calls to establish what led to her death. He also said detectives would be contacting police in the Australian state of New South Wales to collect "relevant evidence." Saldanha answered the phone last week when two Australian disc jockeys called to seek information about the former Kate Middleton, who was being treated for severe morning sickness. The DJs impersonated Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles, and Saldanha was tricked into transferring the call to a nurse caring for the duchess, who revealed private details about her condition. The DJs, Mel Greig and Michael Christian, apologized for the prank in emotional interviews on Australian television, saying they never expected their call would be put through. The show was taken off the air and the DJs have been suspended indefinitely. Australia's media watchdog, the Australian Communications and Media Authority, said Thursday it was launching an official investigation into whether radio station 2DayFM breached its broadcasting license conditions and the industry code of practice. Coroner Fiona Wilcox opened and adjourned Saldanha's inquest until March 26. Wilcox expressed "my sympathies to her family and everybody who has been touched by this tragic death." In Britain, inquests are held to determine the facts whenever someone dies unexpectedly, violently or in disputed circumstances. Inquests do not determine criminal liability or apportion blame. Saldanha, who was born in India, lived in Bristol in southwestern England with her husband and two teenage children. The family was not in court. Lawmaker Keith Vaz, who has spoken on their behalf, said the nurse's loved ones "need time to grieve." Vaz said a memorial Mass would be held Saturday at London's Roman Catholic Westminster Cathedral. http://www.vancouversun.com/entertainment/Kate+Middleton+nurse+hanged+herself+after+British+royal/7694280/story.html#ixzz2ExQu7GkB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wetcoaster Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 The DJs and other radio station staff have been moved to a safe house and given 24/7 protection with bodyguards after threats were made. The Australian inquiry into the prank calls is being fast-tracked. Staff at the radio station which made the royal prank call have been moved to safe-house accommodation and given bodyguards 24/7 after receiving death threats. It comes after a letter was reportedly sent to DJ Michael Christian, which said there are "bullets out there with your (Christian's) name on". It also contained further threats involving a shotgun, according to Australian news website news.co.au. ... The threat was sent from South Australia and was seized yesterday afternoon by detectives. The security lockdown has forced about a dozen staff from the parent company of 2DayFM, Southern Cross Austereo, to move to hotels. Up to 10 executives have been assigned bodyguards, costing an estimated $75,000 a week. Austereo expects the specialist security to be in place for a number of weeks - possibly months. The company expects developments in the investigation into Jacintha Saldanha’s suicide to prompt further public anger and threats. A source inside the company told news.co.au: "We still have details to come from the hospital and the release of the suicide note. Depending on what comes from that could trigger more anger." Australian police yesterday said they had been liaising with Austereo staff over a range of matters, including security. In addition to the threats, officers have been conducting regular scans of social media for any potential threats being made online. Meanwhile, the Australian media watchdog confirmed it had used its discretionary powers to fast-track an official investigation in the royal prank call scandal. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/jacintha-saldanha-royal-prank-call-1488049 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tearloch7 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 And we wonder why the "media" has lost most, if not all, of its credibility .. our airwaves are filled with self-created "spewage" .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheCrease Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Dj's should not be charged at all. A prank call is a prank call. The nurse is the idiot who took her own life. I don't care how we see it, commiting suicide just because of a prank call is not the way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
