Jacintha Saldanha suicide note criticised hospital staff | World news | The Guardian Inquest hears that nurse who died after Duchess of Cambridge hoax call left three letters before apparently taking her own life ... One note deals with the hoax call by the DJs from 2Day FM, another details...

According to reports, the royal family didn't make a complaint, and the hospital didn't discipline the nurses, so it's not like they were on her case. Besides, that's presuming he did forgive them. Perhaps he was upset, but recognised, or was convinced by advisers, that getting a couple of...

I think you have to take Prince Charles' reaction with a pinch of salt. He is an international figure and his comments could have wide reaching effects if he chooses the wrong ones. If he was to express anger at the hospital people could lose jobs for an innocent mistake, if he was to attack the...

Correction: Murdering the nurse who patched a phone call through to the nurse who revealed some fairly unimportant information is the bigger overreaction. The nurse who gave out the information is still alive.

No, the nurse who gave out the information is still alive. The nurse that died was the one who patched the phone call through.

For what it's worth, regarding blame and foresight, my opinion is: -The "prank" was not so innocent because of the nature of the questions they asked when they got through. They may not have expected to get through, but if they didn't they would not have had a skit for the show, so it would be...
