'Blood on your hands': DJs under fire after death of nurse
As radio pranks go, it was an irreverent on-air fare: Two DJs, impersonating Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles, trick a nurse to get details about the hospitalization of Prince William's pregnant wife.
CNN told, that a nurse who was a victim of the stunt, Jacintha Saldanha, apparently committed suicide Friday, King Edward VII Hospital said in a statement
The fallout from Saldanha's death has stretched the globe -- from Britain to Australia, with questions being raised about how far is too far in the effort to find out details about the Duchess of Cambridge's pregnancy.
"Pranksters Face World Fury," screams the front-page headline of the UK's Daily Mirror, while Daily Telegraph columnist Bryony Gordon said it was "not so funny to hear two grown adults call up a hospital ward full of sick people to try to scam information about one of them."
