Bottom line here, did that prank call help that nurse recover from whatever was bothering her in her mind before, or did it just make things feel so much worse for her?
Would she have taken her life in the future, who knows, would she have taken her life on the day she did without that prank call happening, not a chance.

Vids maybe in time we'll learn what her state of mind was before the prank call, atm we don't truly know what triggered the action she took. I really hope the truth comes to light for everyone concerned.

I agree about the fact we dont know what was going on in her mind, maybe we'll never know as it's personal for her family and none of our business.
BUT, do you really think she still would have taken her life on the day she did without that prank call happening? IMO, I doubt it.
After mulling over this dreadful case for a long while i have to conclude that in all honesty ... no one is to blame.
Saying that is not popular cos it leaves us with no one to justifiably hate.
Those involved had no way of knowing the devastation their seemingly innocent behaviour has caused.
From William and Kate who possibly voiced their displeasure.
To the Monarchy who may have complained.
The hospital who were just like any other company who would stamp on staff who made a big mistake.
The DJ's who couldn't possibly have known the consequences from yet another 'innocent' prank.
To the nurse herself - who most probably in a fit of sheer terror forgot the consequences of leaving her children without a mother.
Its a tradgedy which ever way you look at it - made all the worse by the judegemental leaving comments without really knowing the whole truth (me included).
Comments that one day may be read by Jacintha's children.

Because of the circumstances, and timing, I agree it's hard for many of us on the outside to believe she wouldn't have ended her life without the situation that suddenly became part of her life, and because of the speculation is why the truth needs to be found out as to why she took such drastic action. Not we the public have the right to know but her family and the dj's do as it affects their lives, not ours
night Ells good to agree to disagree 
we are all on the same page x
Kaffy Baffy I have had my fill of this story ..if you want It to be right fair enough ...to sad for me to debate anymore
night all peace and god wishes to all
I don't know what you're talking about? I don't 'want' anything to be right. All I'd like to see is two innocent people who will have a horrible thing to live with for the rest of their lives not to be demonised. Did what happened contribute to what she did? Maybe, probably. Did they intend that? Of course not. Was it the only reason she did it? I seriously doubt it.
They are sorry that they are getting alot of abuse, not about the fallout of their prank.
I don't believe that for one moment, no doubt they regret it, wish they could turn the clock back and it had never happened, but they have to live with the consequences of a prank that ended up in tragedy... they were silly but not evil, how can you think they are not sorry? 
It's just my opinion Dame, im not saying they aren't sorry that someone died (and im not saying that is totally their fault) but I do think that in these situations these people do tend to say anything to get them out of trouble.
the trouble with your opinions vids, is that if these two dj's were vacuous bimbos with their tits hanging out, your opinion would probably be entirely different.
Ouch
A memorial fund for the family of the dead nurse who was the victim of the royal hoax call has been set up by the radio station responsible for the prank.
Southern Cross Austereo, the parent company of radio station 2Day FM, said the remainder of the profits for 2012 should go to a memorial fund to benefit Jacintha Saldhana's family.
The sum is expected to amount to AUS$500,000 (ÂĢ326,000).
It has also cancelled its Christmas party, saying it would be "inappropriate" to go ahead with the celebrations, and would instead donate the money it would have spent to charity.
Rhys Holleran, SCA's chief executive, said: "We are very sorry for what has happened. It is a terrible tragedy and our thoughts continue to be with the family.
"We hope that by contributing to a memorial fund we can help to provide the Saldanha family with the support they need at this very difficult time."
A post-mortem examination on Ms Saldanha, who initially answered the prank call made to the hospital treating the Duchess of Cambridge, is being held today.

One of them looks like a bimbo and im still not on her side.
BOSSES at the radio station whose prank call led to a nurse at Princess Kateâs hospital killing herself could be jailed.
Lawyers in Australia said managers could be prosecuted because they did not get the hospitalâs permission to air the recorded conversation.
They face a fine of up to ÂĢ30,000 or even five years in prison if convicted.
Jacintha Saldanha, 46, was found dead after the storm over the call she transferred to the Duchess of Cambridgeâs ward at King Edward VIIâs Hospital in London.
She left a suicide note, it is believed. Anger at her death has turned on the âsuitsâ who decided to broadcast the conversation.
It took place after Jacintha was duped into thinking she was passing on a call from the Queen.
Australians called for station bosses to stop hiding behind DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian, who played the trick.
Radio host Amanda Blair said: âThe blame must be put fairly and squarely on the shoulders of the faceless men of radio.â
Producer Emily Mills and 2DayFM assistant producer Ben Harlum boasted before Jacinthaâs death that they took part in the stunt.
Host Ray Hadley, of rival station 2GB in Sydney said of the DJs: âI donât like the idea of this young bloke and this young girl being hung out to dry. Someone in middle management, between them and the CEO, stuffed up.â
Calls grew yesterday for the hospital to do more to help Jacinthaâs husband Benedict, 49, and children Junal, 16, and Lisha, 14, uncover what happened.
After meeting hospital chiefs, MP Keith Vaz said: âThe family want to know everything.â PM David Cameron backed him. The stationâs owners are giving the family this monthâs ÂĢ320,000 ad revenue.
Kate, 30, will not be with Prince William at tonightâs UK premiere of The Hobbit as she is thought to be sick again.
What a readership grabbing headline that Mirror article is!! 
i agree those who vetted and decided to air the recording should be held accountable rather than the actual DJ's but jail?
It's all too much about sensationalizing it all for ulterior motives now for my liking..... ffs a woman is dead! A mother of two children.... stop trying to grab readers and have a little heart fgs

The Australian radio station behind the hoax phone call could face criminal charges for airing the conversation, legal experts said yesterday.
Last weekâs prank was widely condemned days after it aired,following the death of the nurse who answered the phone and helped two DJs â Mel Greig and Michael Christian â get confidential information about the former Kate Middletonâs health. But when it comes to a potential criminal case, the question is not about the death; rather it is whether a private conversation was broadcast without the permission of the participants.
Those found guilty of such a violation could face prison. However, it remains unclear who at radio station 2DayFM or its parent company, Southern Cross Austereo, made the decision to air the call. The DJs have said executives made the decision, but a former 2DayFM host who orchestrated many pranks for the station said DJs were always involved.
Southern Cross Austereo has said the station had tried five times to contact the hospital, but privacy law expert Barbara McDonald said that could prove to be an inadequate defence. The New South Wales state Surveillance Devices Act prohibits the broadcast of recorded private conversations without participantsâ permission, with violations punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to A$55,000 [$58,000].
Australian authorities have said lthey have been in contact with their London counterparts and are ready to assist them in any UK investigation.
I've got to say, I do think that there should be serious consequences for whoever made the decision that the story was more important than following the rules and getting permission to air the call. We heard so many stories during the Levison Enquiry, which showed the harmful effects that media intrusion can have on ordinary members of the public, who are suddenly thrust into the media spotlight. One family, whose daughter had been murdered, ended up then losing their son to suicide, due to the press behaving badly. The need to get people's permission before airing such things seems like a sensible rule, as only the person involved can truly know how it will affect them.
They didn't care about those involved, only the scoop, and, if they have broken a law, they should face the consequences, imo.

I agree that the radio station should face legal consequences if they didn't get permission to air the interview - as they should whether or not the nurses were affected afterwards. Same rules would apply if it was a prank played on a on famous person. That's as far as I think 'blame' should be laid.
As for Jacintha's state of mind - I find it very strange that they say she came from a very close and loving family and yet she never even told them about the phone call.

I doubt he can change the habit of a lifetime.
Off topic, sorry ...
Though i don't disagree with the idea of a monarchy i feel the current crop (perhaps with the exception of William and Kate?) are aloof, arrogant and detached.

Oooh utter tosh G/Joe !!
They have advisors coming out of their Royal posteriors and yet they seem to gaff at will. And they do, without a shadow of doubt, make decisions that make us blush. They hold a position of which many seem bored.
I could go on . . .
Proof that they guff at will.
One notes that GJ may have failed to read erinp's post above.
When I first heard about the prank call I thought it was very funny and wondered how on earth they had managed to get through?Obviously whoever took the call and was duped would feel really stupid, embarrassed and that they had failed to keep the privacy and confidentially of the royal family.To someone with a strong sense of duty and responsibility to have the worlds media reporting this mistake might have been completely overwhelming and so shameful that they could not bear it.
Thats how I see it.I feel sad about it but dont feel that anyone is to blame...its just very unfortunate.
Dont understand Morrissey's rantings or the awful Lowri Turner on the Wright Stuff berating the nurse for leaving her children behind.....I think when it comes to taking your own life most people arent in their right minds and you cant impose your judgements on them as you just dont understand
Morrissey is a funny tortured little man isn't he?
Morrissey is just trying to get 'hang the Dj' re-released for a Christmas No1
Good old Morrissey.
