    The Australian gutterpress couple of stupid kids should hang their heads in shame and must issue an immediate public apology to this poor lass, to Kate and William,to our and their Queen and to the British and Australian public for the sorrow they have caused to so many.

    Just had a look at the news on google australia, they have reported it, but they're only just waking up out there.

    The dj couple have previously apologised but they're probably not aware whats just happened yet.

    They won't be finding it funny anymore.

    Involuntary manslaughter charges then? Something needs to be done about the press/media, that's for sure - and clearly, not only in the UK.

    How very sad for the nurses family and friends and in the face of Christmas too - and also the news will be upsetting for Kate and William. Why don't people stop and think before carrying out such stupid pranks.

      It is of course a very tragic situation.

      As far as I'm aware, there has been no reported indication that she is dead because she answered the phone to the prank callers, and in any case, the nurse that has died, that answered the phone is apparently not the one that gave out the information. She simply answered the phone and passed it on to someone else apparently.

      Of course the pranksters should be ashamed, and probably even prosecuted, but I'm not sure they can be blamed for the death of this poor lady.

      Does seem more than a touch coincidental though clueless?

      Without a doubt. When I saw the headline, my first thought was here we go, Dr Kelly all over again. But if there was anything sinister, why the lass that answered the phone? Why not the other nurse that gave out details, or the pranksters themselves?

      We dont have the facts. We can speculate, but as this is a public forum I'd feel uneasy about speculating on a case where a family has just been shattered and will want answers, and where a legal investigation is almost certain to follow.

        Very Good point Clueless.

        I see the media have closed comments for legal reasons, afraid we'd better too.

        Appologies Folks.
