Nurse fooled in Kate Middletons radio hoax commits suicide

The unnamed woman was found unconscious at the King Edward VII Hospital, where the Duchess spent three nights earlier this week being treated for severe pregnancy sickness.

Paramedics tried to revive her but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said the cause of her death was "unexplained" but they were not treating it as suspicious.

According to the Daily Mail, the circumstances in which she was found indicated she might have killed herself.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "Police were called at approximately 9.25am on Friday, December 7, to a report of a woman found unconscious an address in Weymouth Street, W1.

"London Ambulance Service attended and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
"Inquiries are continuing to establish the circumstances of the incident.
"The death is not being treated as suspicious at this stage."
A spokesman for the hospital said a statement was expected shortly.
The dead woman is reported to be a nurse who was working on reception who took the call at 5.30 on Tuesday morning from two presenters from the Sydney radio station 2Day FM, who pretended to be the Queen and the Prince of Wales.
The unsuspecting hospital worker put the call straight through to the Duchess's ward, where a nurse spent two minutes chatting about the Duchess's condition and treatment.
The hospital described the incident earlier this week as "deplorable"

I wonder how the radio hosts that did this prank are going to feel right now.I hope they are going to be prosecuted although i dont know how this could happen

There goes your career as a crown attorney.

Sure I will bite, prosecuted for what exactly?

[ronm100]

What a weakling, nobody even knew it was her!!

[Krieglord]

What a weakling,

... really?

really?

someone commits suicide and thats your reaction?

[Papay]

Surely i do not know Australian laws.But i was a parent of that nurse i would sue them

why, what did they do wrong?

[OCWife]

The only person who made her kill herself was herself. People are way too sue-happy nowadays. If you are her parents, if you want to sue someone, you should sue yourself for the poor parenting.

I understand if you are Erwin Rommel and was forced to commit suicide to protect your children against rape by Nazis, but this is clearly not such a case.

Don't know if your country has "bully" laws, but if the prank is explained as a type of bullying that leads to suicide, the radio hosts could be sentenced for bullying and unvoluntary manslaughter.

I think.


Would be just, their practical joke could have had huge consequences for the nurse, I bet she could have lost her job over this, plus she's been publicly humiliated.


The radio celebreties ruined an innocent life (I bet half the country criticised her) just so they could be "funny"

[NotYetRegistered]

Not worthy of prosecution, imo.

Sad, though.

[The Great Montrose]

Thats a shame about her death, and the radio hosts ar probably going to feel horrendus. But I dont think theres anyway they can be sued?

[mrmouth]

I surely thought this was a joke thread as nothing popped up on Google news (my homepage). Too bad it isnt a joke thread. That's pretty sad.

While the Royals didn't care and even joked about it, clearly she felt the need to kill herself as a result of what has occurred and the resulting unwanted, negative attention. Despite having underlying emotional problems, this surely played a part. The message boards and comment sections in the UK were not terribly accepting of her 'mistake', to say the least. Those are her peers.

So even more of a reason for that odd cult of personality thing to go away. They are just people. They like everyone else.

We don't have any proof that she killed herself, it was not reported that she did on the BBC and she was not even the person who gave away the information about the Duchess. If she did commit suicide, which is not certain, it was almost certainly for other reasons.

No but it cant be a coincedence that she died a day aftr the event. And no she was the one that answered the phonecall. And I disagree with the last point, think how embarresed this woman must have felt ? and what everyone was saying.

[Papay]

Ok they cannot be prosecuted.But at least i hope they feel horrible

[mrmouth]

Dude, what.

Good news everyone. The hospital will no longer have to pay the crazy nurse.

Condolences to crazy nurse's family.

If a phone call makes you kill yourself... to put this bluntly you're not well.

In order to beat the radio station in court, you would have to prove without a doubt that they knew this might happen if they did what they did.

[Father Jack]

Very sad, and I hope the DJ's are feeling awful about it. There may well have been other factors in her life that contributed to her suicide though, such as depression.

They shouldn't feel bad at all.

[Aanker]

Is this political?

[Stavroforos]

This is hardly political, should be moved to Thema Devia.

In any case, I'm sure our British members will eventually blame Putin or Catholics for this.
