I cannot help but think there is much, much more to this. It seems totally bizarre that someone would take their own life after merely having passed a hoax call to another nurse. The hospital was very angry towards the radio station, but I can't get the apparently disproportionate reaction by the nurse to the prank call. I get the nasty feeling that the radio presenter's are being made a scapegoat for something that really wouldn't have been a reasonable expectation for them. I get it that the call was perhaps in poor taste, but it's hardly the sort of call to cause such an extreme response. What drove this poor woman to kill herself?
We'll probably never know.
It's a tragedy. Sorry to hear it.
There's no telling, but it does sound as if the nurse had some things going on in her life other than just that prank call.
Certainly giving out private information is bad, but it shouldn't have ended this sadly.

Depending on her ethnic background it's possible she felt she had so deeply shamed herself in the faces of the Royals and her employers that she thought she had no where to turn to. In addition to that it is also possible that she was being made the scapegoat by panicked supervisors in the first few hours who may have initially come down very hard on her, exacerbating her despair. After her death they would only have kind words for her no doubt.
Her suicide note will be extremely interesting.
I dont think the radio hosts should be cancelled or get sued.
I hear these kind of things all the time on morning/talk radio and no one else seems to go off the deep end.

Why in the world would that ever be shared? How is something like that anyone's business?

Agreed. As sad as the outcome of the story turned out to be, I think it's a bit odd to be laying it all at the feet of the two of them.
how many people killed themselves after being pranked by howard stern?

There will be a coroner's report done on her death to establish the reason for it. The suicide note will play a big part in that. Someone will be getting sued. That's why it will be getting shared.
A gag. Good or bad taste. Followed by a suicide.
What else happened?
English royalty was involved.
How did her employers view that?
Did it beach her employers privacy requirements?
Was anything said to her about that?
Who by?
Did her collegues say anything to her about it?
Who was playing the call in England? It was an Australian segment?
Why did she sleep in nurses quarters?
Did she have any previous psych issues?
How was her relationship with her family?
Hence, what did the suicide note say.
Currently the employers have put the result solely at the feet of the DJ's. So have the media.
In the end, a sad story.
dude!!!
this chick hasnt killed herself.
no one else has an excuse.

She had just sat in my lap when that photo was taken, so that doesn't count.
neither does your attempt at humor.
Somebody tell the teacher. They are pulling each others hair again.
Obviously the Royal Family had her offed. This will certainly not help
Kate's morning sickness. Very sad all around.

I think they've already been canceled.
theyve been cancelled and are currently in hiding amid a flurry of hate mails and tweets
UK police have flown out to start the investigation - this puzzles me, i didnt think prank calls were illegal
The station is being investigated by the Australian equivalent of the FCC. Apparently they may have violated Australian law by broadcasting the call without the consent of those at the hospital who were recorded.

I guess we'd better shut down half the radio stations in the country as I can't imagine most prankees approve of the joke.
A tragic story all around. I still don't understand why she hung herself, though; while the prank call may have been the proverbial tipping point, I highly doubt it was that alone that drove to commit suicide.

Also agreed. The call was perhaps in poor taste, but certainly the DJ's had no malicious intent. I feel bad for all the hate of which they're currently the object.

She looks familiar. Doesn't/didn't she have a video on YouTube where she plays (is?) some psycho-chick?
yup the crazy girlfriend song

Prank calls aren't illegal. A lot of media have an understanding on how to behave in doing them. If this is breached, it can cause issues for the station.
The investigation currently underway in England, is a coroner's report which aims to establish why the person died. Nothing more.

I made the mistake of watching a couple of her videos, her eyes will now haunt my dreams... :-\
we've all known that chick at least once.
In the biblical sense.
i watched a stand up comedian on tv the other night and he said something i have found to be very true - if you find the girl that is amazing in bed, will do anything and have anything done to them its great, EXCEPT THEYRE F****** MENTAL!!!!!!
I married that one....for a while.
