Prank call nurse found hanging by co-workers- jamie lerman


On December 4th in London, England, a nurse took her life after a prank phone call coming in from a radio station in Australia. Jacintha Saldanha was her name and she was married with two teenage children. She left multiple notes to her family and coworkers but the reasons for her death were unclear and are still trying to be found out. The prank call was so extreme it prompted her to pursue with her idea of hanging herself.

Prank calls can be fun and intended to be harmless little jokes. But sometimes if a prank goes to far, the consequences could be greater than thought. I don't think that a radio station full of adults should be making prank calls all around the world. Even though the prank call wasn't the only thing that made the nurse hang herself, it definitely was an embarrassing moment that pushed her to the edge.
