Hoax call nurse to be buried in her native India

The body of an Indian-born nurse who was found dead after taking a hoax call to the hospital treating Prince William’s wife Kate arrived in Mangalore yesterday following a memorial Mass in London.

Jacintha Saldanha, aged 46, apparently took her own life after answering the prank telephone call from two Australian radio DJs to the hospital where Kate was admitted during the early stages of her pregnancy.

Her funeral is expected to take place today near Mangalore in Shirva, the home town of her husband Benedict Barboza. He accompanied her body on yesterday’s flight to India along with their son, 16, and daughter, 14.
