Prank call leads to suicide
 

I heard about joke 2 Aussie DJs did a couple days ago. It was kind of comical...a little shocking that they released some info about Kate, but nothing to major and not the nurses fault.

The nurse was just found dead from an apparent suicide. I guess the pressure got too much for her....its pretty fucking sad.

The Aussie DJs are not returning until further notice.

RIP :(

it's definitely sad, I remember just hearing about the prank the other day and found it quite funny but the culture over from one country to another may be very different. the stress and humiliation might have been just too much for her, it's truly sad to have it turn out like this. it definitely impacts everyone in such a negative way, the hospital, the royal family, the nurses friends and family, the djs, basically everyone. she sounded like a very lovely person, my condolences to her family.

Suicide should never be the only way out of a situation.

RIP

its all fun and games until someone dies.
RIP

I find it shocking that this prank could be the sole reason for her suicide.

is it really teh call that pushed her? seems kinda odd. Or perhaps she was laready suicidal and needed any excuse. Just seems odd to me that this would drive someone tosuicide? or am i missing something?

regardless of the reason though, very sad and rip :-(

^ it doesn't take much for a person to turn him/herself to a corner
in this case if the prank call is the sole reason for the suicide then the social pressure and international questionings could lead to an unimaginable depression. Also add to the self blaming and it is totally possible. Different culture, different standard.

What I have problem with is prank calls in general. I hear it all the time on radio stations nowadays. TheBeat and Virgin do it all the time trying to be funny.

It is also hard to judge because we don't know what type of person she was. I am sure all of us can think of that one person we work with who takes their job very seriously, is pretty quiet, and when/if they do something wrong they are very upset by it.

There is someone I deal with for work who is always terrified he is going to lose his job. He is very straight-laced, does everything perfectly, and does not do well when issues come up last minute. I often wonder is something major happened with his job how he would cope.

Also, this prank was world wide. Everyone (media-wise) knew he name and personal information and although I don't think anyone 'blamed' her, she probably blamed herself. No, suicide is never the answer, but I imagine she felt very overwhelmed with all the exposure. It is a very odd feeling when people write things about you (whether is be the truth or lies) in a public arena and you have no control over it.

daaaaamn

i figure some things are off limits - essential services like police stations, fire halls, & hospitals.

This whole time, I was hoping the suicide was a hoax fabricated by the Royal Family to troll them back. :considered:

that's a very nice thought, I hope somehow that you're right

More stupid than sad

She did a huge security risk. She was obviously not very experienced and should know that she should not disclose any information about the patients over the phone.

The hosts received so much hate on twitter that they deleted their page

She's a nurse not a security expert. People call hospitals all the time to find out how a family member is doing.

Quite saddening to listen to the report, somewhere inside me just wishes that the nurse is trolling back the DJs and will reveal herself.

This is sad, but I don't really blame those two DJs who made the prank call.

The prank call in itself is not malicious in any way.

Even if this was the reason that the nurse decided to commit suicide, is it really their fault?

you've got to be fucking kidding me she committed suicide?!


or did the queen have her killed, i wouldn't be surprised ;)

Worst possible way this could have ended...

But did you guys actually hear audio of the phone call? The DJs' British accents were HORRIBLE!

You could make the same case about cyber bullying. Just because I tell a secret about the person and they kill themselves, is it my fault?

The DJ's went beyond a joke. Royal family...calling the hospital - (who really knew the severity of her health)......The DJ's should have at least had some foresight into the possible consequences of their actions.

Yah sure... They're sorry now that this happened...
