via Jacintha Saldanha: ‘Excellent nurse’ who took Kate Middleton hoax phone call found dead in suspected suicide | Mail Online.

A nurse who transferred a prank phone call from two Australian radio presenters about the Duchess of Cambridge has died in a suspected suicide – two days after being duped.

The body of Jacintha Saldanha, who was working on the switchboard, was found at an address yards away from King Edward VII Hospital, where she worked, just before 9.30am today.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge issued a statement saying they are ‘deeply saddened’ by the tragedy and said they had not made a complaint, adding: ‘Their thoughts and prayers are with Jacintha Saldanha’s family, friends and colleagues at this very sad time.’

‘On the contrary we offered our full and heartfelt support to the nurses involved and hospital staff at all times.’
