Kate Middleton Hospital Nurse Found Dead 'In Suspected Suicide'

A nurse from King Edward VII hospital - the same one who was tricked by a prank phone call regarding Kate Middleton during her stay this week - was found dead this morning. 

According to reports, nurse Jacintha Saldanha's unconscious body was found yards away from the hospital where she worked, at an address on Weymouth Street, just before 9:30am this morning, and she was pronounced dead at the scene after paramedics' efforts to revive her failed.

Police are treating the death as 'unexplained,' and while the cause of death remains unclear, one potential source suggested it could have been a suicide.

Saldhana was a nurse at the King Edward VII hospital where Kate Middleton was treated earlier this week for acute morning sickness.

Two days ago, while helping out on reception, the unsuspecting nurse was duped by two Australian DJs, Mel Greig and Michael Christian, from 2Day FM, who pretended to impersonate the Queen and Prince Charles to obtain personal information on the Duchess of Cambridge's sojourn in hospital.

Sadhana is thought to have then transferred the hoax call - which came through around 5:30am - to another member of the nursing staff, who unwittingly gave away private information about the Duchess's stay at the hospital, including the best time to pay a visit to Kate.
