Jacintha Saldanha death – the story in photos

THE story of Jacintha Saldanha, the nurse who worked at the hospital where pregnant Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, is being treated. Jacintha Saldanha was pranked by Australian DJs Mel Grieg and Michael Christian. Did their joke lead to her death? Did the British media’s amplification of that phone call make the nurse suicidal? We will never know for certain. What we do know is that after the call and the suicide a media feeding frenzy followed. Full story.

In this Saturday, Dec. 8, 2012 photo, Carmine Barboza, Mother-in-law of nurse at King Edward VII hospital, London, Jacintha Saldanha, breaks down as she speaks to the media after knowing about Saldanha's death in central London, at their village house in Shirva north of Mangalore, India. Australian radio hosts managed to impersonate Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles and received confidential information about the Duchess of Cambridge's medical condition, in a hoax phone call to the King Edward VII hospital where the pregnant Duchess was staying and which was broadcast on-air. The controversial prank took a dark twist three days later with the death of nurse Saldanha, a 46-year-old mother of two, who was duped by the DJs despite their Australian accents. (AP Photo)
