Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

The nurse tricked by a radio prank call was found hanging from a wardrobe by a scarf, an inquest has heard.

Jacintha Saldanha died days after falling victim to the hoax that targeted the hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge was being treated.

The opening of her inquest at Westminster Coroner's Court heard injuries were found on the nurse's wrists - and that she had also left three notes.

Two were found in her room at London's King Edward VII hospital and another was among her possessions.

The inquest was told police were exploring emails and texts sent by the 46-year-old, who was discovered in her nurses' quarters by a colleague and a security guard on Friday.

Officers are also interviewing Ms Saldanha's friends and family, and staff at the Australian radio station responsible for the prank.

Detective Chief Inspector James Harman said: "On Friday December 7 Jacintha Saldanha was found by a colleague and a member of security staff. Sadly she was found hanging.

"There were also injuries to her wrist. The London Ambulance Service was called to the scene. At this time there are no suspicious circumstances."

The inquest came as pressure mounted on bosses at the radio station to name the executives responsible for airing the hoax.

Sky News understands Australia's independent media watchdog, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), has had 2,500 complaints from around the world over the 2Day FM segment.

ACMA has announced a rare fast-track investigation into the prank, which saw Ms Saldanha put two radio hosts through to a fellow nurse who unwittingly revealed details about Kate's treatment.

DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian impersonated the Queen and Prince Charles, with the "monarch" making enquiries about her "granddaughter".

Australia's radio broadcasting code stipulates that it is a breach to record a person in conversation, and also air it, without their knowledge.

The radio station insists it did not break the law and says it tried to contact the hospital on five separate occasions. The hospital disputes any contact was ever sought.

These nurses sometimes work 12 hour shifts for very little pay. I would be unbalanced too if I worked 12 hour night shifts looking after patients who were vomiting all the time.

They do a fantastic job. A pair of ****** come along and have cost a very loyal and hard working nurse her life. Very sad.

the avge pay for a nurse is over 25k

Does not go far these days £500 when you have to rent, eat and travel. How many hrs do they put in for that ?

so why are the letters not been put out
if it was not for the royals being involed they would of been in all the papers by now
fact
so till we see the letters we do not no

How will the letters help. Are they not private ?

why are they not saying what was in the notes .
what is the reason

do not be daft she left them to say why she is taking her life .
for all to no.

How do you know that ?

you leave letters to say why you are going to kill your self .
and most want the world to know why

Sounds like she passed the phone call to another nurse, who answered the djs questions. She was probably deeply ashamed and embarassed. I may be missing something, but what will we gain from the note/notes?

.

The chief executive of Samaritans, Catherine Johnstone, says: "Suicide is complex.

"Although a catalyst may appear to be obvious, suicide is never the result of a single factor or event and is likely to have several inter-related causes.

"Sometimes people get to a point where they feel they can't cope, where it all gets too much to handle.

"It's worse if people feel they are alone and they can't talk to anyone about what's weighing on them."
so why did she think she could not turn to her family for help?
the notes could say it was not the hoax call and take away the sadness from those two. that is the reason why they must be printed .
once again why could she not turn to her beloved family most strange in my world

last on this issue if the notes take the blame away from the two hoaxs
they should be told .
by note giving out the details of the notes
it says not all is what it appears

D.

If it appears that the nurse kill herself, or committed suicide then the notes may corroborate other evidence given to the coroner and jury,if the latter is used in order to come to his or their verdicts.


Personally, I don't think the notes "evidence" should necessarily open to public voyeuristic view, but can see the problems of not doing so, in the present conspiracy mania in the public. The coroner has the authority not to do so.


Also, the "delight" of some in finding somebody to lambaste for the consequence of a adolescent style hoax doesn't say much for the public in general.

If the nurse did commit suicide the responsibility for the action was her own, and base on her own personal constructs.

It is sad, but the media's frenetic reporting of the case leaves a sour taste for many.

Agree, Fred

Hubble achieves deepest view yet

Hubble astronomers have observed deeper into space than ever before.

In doing so, they have identified six new galaxies of stars that formed just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang itself.

The study also updates a distance estimate for a seventh galaxy, placing it further back in time than any object previously identified.

Called UDFj-39546284, this is seen when the cosmos was less than 3% of its current age.

Skinny,

Do you think they will see where I left my car keys?
