Authorities have elected not to prosecute two
Australian DJs on charges of manslaughter, after the nurse they prank called for details on
Kate Middleton‘s recent hospitalization was found dead a few days later. The death of
Jacintha Saldanha, the nurse in question at
King Edward VII‘s hospital, was ruled a suicide,
BBC reports.
Mel Greig and
Michael Christian apologized publicly on
Australian television for allegedly calling the
Saldanha at
the hospital, pretending to be members of the royal family, and
soliciting information from one of her colleagues regarding the
Duchess’s illness (which was later revealed to be
pregnancy-related acute
morning sickness). The
Crown Prosecution Service officially
stated that they had no real cause for extraditing the duo to England,
and none for actually prosecuting them. Their show, 2DayFM, was taken
off of the air in December.
“However misguided, the telephone call was a harmless prank,” said deputy head
Malcolm McHaffie.
