JOHN LOFTHOUSE: We can confirm that Jacintha was recently the victim of a hoax call to the hospital. But the head of King Edward VII Hospital, John Lofthouse, drew a direct connection with Tuesday's incident. The cause of death has not been officially established. Police say Saldanha was found unconscious at staff accommodation near the hospital, early this morning. Saldanha, the duty nurse that night, answered the hospital's main telephone in the pre-dawn hours on Tuesday and taken in by DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian, transferred their call to Kate's ward. VICKI BARKER, BYLINE: Jacintha Saldanha is not the nurse heard describing the Duchess of Cambridge's condition during the prank call. GREIG: (Impersonating Queen Elizabeth) Hello, I'm just after my granddaughter's. MEL GREIG: (Impersonating Queen Elizabeth) Kate, my darling, are you there?
Vicki Barker has more on the story, from London. Well, now, one of the nurses who took that call is dead. They fooled nurses into revealing details of the Duchess of Cambridge's condition. Two Australian DJs impersonated the Queen and Prince Charles.
Earlier this week, we told you about a crank phone call made to the British hospital where Prince William's wife, Kate, was being treated for a severe case of morning sickness. From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.
