For someone to do that they must have already been in a very weak mental state.

The aussie DJs will face a very big backlash now.

It's a very funny scenario, been a lot worse hoax's and wind ups on people yet at the same time you must always be prepared you can push someone too far!!

Must of been pretty bad making such a fuck up, but as you say most of been lack of stability for someone to end it all due to embarrassment..

The queen fell for a similar prank herself if I remember correctly...

I'm thinking can the Australian DJ's be done for impersonating the Queen and Prince Charles? Must be some laws against obtaining info by impersonating someone, prank or not.

I'm also wondering if this nurse was facing some sort of legal/disciplinary action due to breach of confidentiality/DPA... So maybe she was about to get fucked for disclosing the info, prank or no prank...

I think the real question here is, was she hot?

I would have said that she would have got a ribbing of some of her colleagues that would contribute to it. Doesn't the article say that she forwarded the call? so she didn't actually give any information in that case.

It does, I swear that article has been updated with those details since I read it!

Maybe she was facing disciplinary then, although it does say they were helping her through it and not in any disciplinary action, but I suppose it doesn't mean there wasn't any planned... Surely not suicide over shame alone, unless the public were ribbing her in the street over it...

Yeah I cant say I think they're at fault entirely.

As a joke not particularly funny, but to think she fell for it... comical. However, for that to spiral into a suicide is a bit extreme !

According to reports I have read elsewhere no disciplinary.

Also the Person who has been found dead was the 1st person on the line not the person to give away all the info once transferred (although again im sure various news reports may differ)

That's a shame. Anyone would fall for the same thing, not like you'd question the queen to make sure it's her. I can phone up and pose as a relative to anyone in hospital and get information easily. Unfortunate that it all got too much for her. RIP.

Yeah, I read the original report before any names or anything was in it, didn't realise it had been updated!

Still wonder if the Aussie DJ's have broken any laws though... Impersonation to obtain information is against the law isn't it?

They didnt really gain any information though, the radio has a slightly delay on it when 'live' so if any information was released that could endanger the dutchess the clip would have been cut.

I thought any medical info is confidential though, regardless?

Doesn't say how she died but I think we can assume suicide

+1. Pretty upsetting that she thought the only way out was that.

Feel for her family tbh
