U.K. police contact Aussie station over hoax

December 9, 2012, 8:17 AM

... The board of Southern Cross Austereo met Sunday to discuss a harsh letter from the hospital that fell for the call. King Edward VII's Hospital, where the former Kate Middleton was being treated for acute morning sickness this week, condemned the "truly appalling" hoax and said the "longer term consequence has been reported around the world and is, frankly, tragic beyond words" ...

Police have not yet determined Saldanha's cause of death, but people from London to Sydney have been making the assumption she died because of stress from the call ...

Australian police Sunday confirmed they had been contacted by London police and said they would cooperate.

and am sure they never thought this woman would have taken her life. Now that it has happened I hope across this world will see this as an issue and make sure that their DJs never do something like this again. If I were the husband I would sue the DJ and the company they work for. In that way they can find some justice and maybe something like this will never happen again.
