Early on radio talk show hosts Mel and Michael made a prank call to the 46 year old nurse of Kate Jacintha Saldanah. Saldanah believed them and put them through to the royal couple where they were given details of her condition. Later it was found out that it was a joke and the nurse commited suicide. the shock jockies have come out and apologized for what they have done. They said they never couldve imagined it would go this far and that their thoughts are with the family, that they would do anything they could to help the family.
This article is written from a very reflective point of view on the whole situation. I dont think the dj's are 100% responsible for this death but they very well may have played a part in it.

This is crazy....I can't believe that a simple little prank call lead to someone commuting suicide!
ReplyDeleteThats horrible that something so simple could go so far...
ReplyDeleteI really don't know why the nurse would kill herself over this. Every part of the story sounds fishy. I thiknk that there's something else going on.
