Kate prank Aussie DJs speak following hoax nurse death 

If he was put on the spot, he'd say no. The thing is that he spends all his time avoiding culpability. If it were me in that situation, and I had done this, I'd put my hand up and say 'me and my co-worker were crooks. we were indirectly responsible for her death. this was our fault'. At least, I hope I'd say that.

As someone once, it could all end in tears!!

Precisely! Also this was potentially putting people's jobs and livelihoods on the line. I don't see the humour in this and I don't understand why they didn't hang up the line themselves if they didn't expect to get through in the first place. They clearly wanted to see how far they could take it.

Actually, it’s not. It’s illegal for a person to release personal information, like medical records, but it is not illegal for a person to inquire about private medical records. If it were illegal, then every friend & distant family member who calls a hospital to ask about a relative would be arrested.

I am glad I do not live in America.

I'm going to prank you

@@FinnMiaBelle There's a significant difference in these situations. In one case, a person is truthfully trying to gain medical records that they incorrectly believed they were entitled to. In the second case, a person is fraudulently impersonating someone they are not in order to gain those medical records. The person in the first case is making an innocent mistake, the second is maliciously and fraudulently trying to get something which they know (or reasonably ought to know) that they have no right to. Doing the second is, in fact, illegal.

bloody oath mate

wegrace79 not just a patient the queen of England, northorn Ireland, Canada, all those hell holes in Africa and Australia.

was she a Klingon.

You’re missing the mark here. She is saying she “doesn’t get it” because this nurse that allegedly committed suicide, was only the nurse who transferred the call to Kate’s actual nurse. This woman who allegedly killed herself didn’t release any sort of information. She did not talk to anyone about Kate’s condition or anything to do with Kate. All she did was transfer a damn call. So, how does this woman end up dead? The logic that she was ashamed doesn’t really hold water here, because she wasn’t the one who delved into Kate’s medical history via the prank phone call. Again, she only transferred the call. So, why or how could this woman feel so ashamed to the point where she kills herself, when she wasn’t the nurse who released Kate’s personal information? It just doesn’t make sense.

@@FinnMiaBelle I don't know much about this case but possibly she may have been severely "disciplined" by hospital management & combine this with the public shame & how she personally felt about the situation; it pushed her over the edge. We also don't know what her private situation at home was like.

Kay Izzio Because once the call was transferred the person on the other end assume that call was cleared before it got to her. I don’t blame nurse who think someone would fake being the queen. And if it was the Queen and she hung up thinking it could be a prank she could lose her job royal family has some power. People already think she was murder by the royal family.

exactly, if the nurse was still alive but without the job, would they have apologized? It´s a dangerous prank, and they knew it,producers and dj's

Gonna blame critics and commentators for their comments? Maybe Hilary should be prosecuted for calling trump fans deplorables

therese fassie the girl too is horrible

Their career hopefully got destroyed

It did get destroyed by their own choice they quit public life but you cannot police jokes it was never intended to kill

Well, which is it? Did the radio hosts cause her to kill herself? Or was she murdered? Lol. I advise anyone interested in this case to really research the facts, because the woman who allegedly killed herself only transferred the call to Kate’s actual private nurse. She did not speak to the radio hosts about Kate or her condition at all. The nurse she transferred the call to was the one who actually spoke on Kate’s condition and inadvertently released Kate’s private medical information. So, why was this woman so ashamed enough to kill herself, if she wasn’t the one who actually released the medical information to the radio hosts? All she did was transfer a call......it doesn’t make sense!

Saying they deserve to be killed is disgusting, they did do something wrong and the outcome was awful, but saying that is going way too far, and I do feel like the DJs are harbouring most of the blame but the bosses of the radio station were the ones who broadcast the prank

wegrace79 exactly.

The DJ's very poor attempt at impersonating the Queen & Prince Charles was bad, in several ways, I'll agree, but have you listened to that hoax call? The nurse who initially answered the call, who's also the one that, sadly, took her own life, never was informed of who was asking about Kate. The female DJ barely managed to get in, that she's the grandmother & from how quickly you hear the line being put on hold or reconnected, I believe that nurse never even hear the DJ mutter that, because her ear was no longer against the phone. I think the poor nurse was preoccupied. Of course that's all speculation on my part. Now as I see it, if it was the 2nd nurse, the one that talked at length, had killed herself, I can see that being very serious, and possibly even being some kind of criminally negligent for that nurses death. But here's what we do NOT know Americanhoney. What we don't know is why would a nurse who spoke to impersonators for less than 5 seconds, want to kill herself? That makes no sense at all! The cause does not justify her actions. Even according to the law, there is really, no direct, OR indirect link that would associate her death with that call. You also said state that it is HIGHLY illegal to hoax medical staff into giving an impersonator updates on someone's well being who's presently in hospital. Though it can be seen as "morally wrong", it is NOT illegal, unless there's intent to commit a crime, like identity theft, or to commit fraud or to steal things like money and legal documents, ie: Information shared by that person's lawyer, or to impersonate a police officer. Here is part of that legal argument here: With the exception of the specific offences of impersonating a law enforcement officer (and also a lawyer!), it is not unlawful to impersonate someone per se, however, it is very difficult to impersonate someone without then going on to commit another offence (either civil or criminal). I looked into the legality of gaining "private information" not to be mistaken for "medical information" via pretending to that person's Mother, Father, relative....etc, and there is NOTHING illegal there. It can be said that it's a moral low blow, but there's nothing criminal about asking how someone is doing, in recovery or ICU at a hospital. It would be up to the medical staff to be trained at proper screening to prevent this very minor type of infringement, but even then, it's still very difficult to prevent. HOWEVER....back to this 5 second nurse Americanhoney.....Did you ever see her family that made a Press Statement? I looked carefully into her husbands eyes, trying to get some kind of feel about him. By listening to him, he was stern, direct and was "a matter of fact" kind of guy. What I didn't see, that I felt was genuine, was a sense of grief, or loss. I'm not sure if they were East Indian, or Pakistan, but what I do know is, that culture produces an awful lot of overbearing, dominating, jealous, controlling, and even violent men. Women can have an extremely tough life over there. I know that sounds really bad to say, and probably it's "politically incorrect" to say too. But if I'm a cop investigating a suicide, I would most certainly gather all the facts that are available, but as most homicide investigators do, one of their first suspects is almost always, the husband. I know I've been long-winded here, & probably still will be...LOL, but I am very confident when I say, there is much more to that poor ladies suicide than what we "REALLY KNOW". I would love to spend some time talking with all of her immediate family members, as well as close friends, and the people she worked with too. I can NOT justify someone killing themselves, who I think was just a reception operator, for something as meager as passing someone through to another Nurse/Nursing Station. That 2nd Nurse, I think, broke hospital protocol and it's possible she was disciplined, & could of been fired too, for dereliction of duty, not following hospital procedure, and definitely for not properly screening callers, if, the hospital even has such a policy in the first place!! I say an interview with that lady DJ though, and I learned they've made tons of hoax calls like that in the past. But since my trust is well below zero when it has anything to do with today's media, which I suspect, took little to no concrete information, twisted it to their own narrative, strictly for ratings of course, (as we've heard a 1000 times before), then ran with it, not caring one way or another, on who would, or who could be seriously affected, emotionally damaged, or ruined in more ways than one, down the road some day. While watching that female DJ's interview, anyone could easily tell, this was destroying her. To me, any amount of guilty the media built up and threw at her, is so so wrong. No way would I let her think this was all because of anything she did. I'm sorry for saying this, but I think you are wrong with your thoughts on all this Americanhoney. This was a crazy funny stunt, and if you heard it, you would of thought so too. There was ZERO harm done by either nurse, since neither gave any real major or private information in the first place! I can see the DJ suing her employer, and quite possibly even the media for all the BS they've got the masses thinking of her now. To me, THAT IS ALL WRONG! I know there's a lost life somehow tossed into the mix of all this, and I too find that said. But I also feel that this poor DJ could be emotionally destroyed, the rest of her life because of all this media hipe and media BS too! I do NOT believe she could of ever imagined a life would be lost, for something as insignificant as what she did. If I'm completely alone in my thoughts, then so be it! A living life lost, a lost soul, is just as tragic as someone's death, in my mind! My heart goes out to her, as much as it goes out to the dead nurse, because my gut instinct tells me, she lead a very depressed life...a lost life, as I've put it, as well. My thoughts go out to that nurses children as well. For me, there is way way more to that poor ladies death, then we are likely to ever know. I hate to say it, but did anyone look into this ladies mental state, or her long term stability? That is something I am positive that would of been a requirement, to do as well. This happened, what, 5yrs ago? I never did hear if anyone was criminally charged with a crime, because no crime was committed. Personal lawsuits are quite possible, but if I was the judge at one of those civil proceedings, I would be extremely hard pressed to hold anyone accountable for her death, unless there was evidence of financial, personal, or family issues, like domestic issues.....NO? But, as always, that's just my opinion! **NOTE: I had no time to proofread, so I'll apologize now, for any typos, misspells, or grammar errors too!

The burden of causing someones death will haunt these two for the rest of their lives. Every waking moment of every day for as long as they live they will regret what they did. Justice has not be served and they know it , and that makes coming to terms forgiving themselves and moving on almost impossible.

@@MrchampionsLeague141 i hope they moved on

True but she was a nurse, brilliant at her job, not seeking fame of gratification. She had no warning of a prank and she was respocible for a pricess and the delivering of a prince. Imagine the pressure. Whereas contestants on the star show know they might get critisized.

I don't think they were trying to belittle her. I think they wanted to see if they could trick the hospital into giving them info, which was dangerous, but I don't think they mocked her or anything.

​@@Jorbz150excuses excuses 🙄

Does *not* matter at all. Are you of the thought-police? The TEAM decided to DO it.

Of course it was/is not their fault that the lady killed herself. It was/is their fault that they "hurt" the lady by the prank, but *killing* herself is *not* on them, *not in the least.* When people do way worse things, for example rape you multiple times, kill your whole family, make your body so sick that the pain is completely unbareble, *it is* the fault of the one who does that to you, that you kill yourself, *if* you kill yourself *in such a case. NOT* because of a prank. I *DO* empathize with the lady, she must have felt bullied by a whole lot of people during a couple of days, and I wish the hospital cared for the lady emotionally, I wish they gave her emotional support and love by telling her a lot how much they appreciated her and how they did not perceive it as *her* fault, but *only* as the fault of these pranksters, and how this situation was good in one way, because this incident WITHOUT *ANY* damage at all other than the hurt of this nurse('s feelings) teached her VERY well to be VERY cautious in the future, while if it would not have happend, it may have happend at another moment *WITH* actual *DAMAGE.* SO, PERCEPTION OF THE SITUATION IS VERY IMPORTANT, AND SHE DESERVED TO BE, AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN, CARED FOR! Her husband and children deserve ALL the consolation, love, future luck and hapiness IN THE WORLD, just as Jacintha did. 😘❤‍🩹❤🙏 I wish the hospital has learned what they did wrong: how they neglected the lady who needed and deserved the emotional support in these circumstances like oxygen, *BUT* I have not a lot of faith nor trust in them ...

She’s Indian in a foreign country trying to succeed in her job for her family , she thinks that a royals family has called and tried to help straightaway , she’s been embarrassed and probably nearly fired for this , probably the cherry on top of her already struggling life . Poor lady

She seems remorseful. He doesn't

⁠@@splinterbyrd No, she got caught out and then tried to look after herself. HIM, 🤯 I can’t even start talking about him - AGAIN 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯. What don’t you get with my first observation???????

She committed suicide too

@@Thetavern09 LIAR. She did *not* commit suicide. Her name is Mel Greig, check on it for yourself, liar.

If you had asked me that question at the time in front of my face I would have chinned you back to sensibility

He's from the posh molly coddled side of town.

I tad talks

everyone keep saying it was a joke ok so it was but put yourself in the eyes of the nurse we r surpose to love this country and our royal family the nurse did and was doing what anyone else would do a lot of people in the past have done this stop blaming the nurse a lot of people would had done the same thing the dj are to blame for this they new it was the royals and they also know how much we love the royals this prank should never had happened i will always blame the djs for this and i think the djs should be where the nurse is in a grave if i had my way they would be and i know a lot of people who feel the same

How do you know?

So?

Does *not* matter at all. Are you of the thought-police? The TEAM decided to DO it.

iAlexY these morons kept mocking "I'm the queen, bow for me. Bow for me." They should be in jail.

Yeah a joke is a joke but what's funny or not? The was not funny at all.

i think to 2 dj are evil they killed that nurse how ever u look at it and i think they should top themselfs and do it quickly before someone else does it it wont be long before someone comes after them and as for feeling sorry for them u r the sick on who in there right mind feels sorry for people who do this u r as babd as the 2 dj are

I hope they are haunted by this for the rest of their worthless lives.

I hope they lose everything

Talk about being short sighted

When you use such dim words as "that", don't be too lazy to type down where such a word as "that" refers to IN *YOUR* sentence.
