Hoax call nurse’s family kept waiting for answers

The family of Jacintha Saldanha, the nurse who was found hanged after taking a hoax phone call about the Duchess of Cambridge, have yet to receive answers from hospital bosses to questions over the death.

Ms Saldanha’s widower and her two children are also waiting to hear back from radio show bosses in Australia after the nurse was duped by a radio feature in which a DJ impersonated the queen in an attempt to reach the duchess, who was being treated for morning sickness at the time.

The 46-year-old, from Bristol, was found dead in her nurses’ quarters three days after she transferred the call from 2Day FM’s Mel Greig and Michael Christian to a colleague at London’s King Edward VII’s Hospital, who then described Kate’s condition in detail.
