[quote] nobody is to blame except the woman herself quote]

I'd agree that the lady made the decision to commit suicide and it was her reaction to the situation that made her believe suicide was an appropriate option.

However I do think there is some blame to be attached to the media and the Australian DJ's for creating the amount of ridicule she has to suffer. She may have been gullible in not recognising that the phone call was a prank but she did perform her job correctly and put the call through to another department. All the media outlets played the clip she featured on and she was the butt of many jokes. Maybe calling it a "contributory factor" is a better description than blame.

The one "good" thing that will come from this very sad case is that there will be more thought given to pranks and practical jokes that are aired. It's a shame something as bad as this has to happen to change attitudes.

I can't help wondering if Stuart Hall or Dave Lee Travis had committed suicide would a similar reaction occurred. I don't know if either of these two people are guilty or innocent but regardless the assumptions made by many must be causing a significant level of depression.[/quote]

I can't understand how anyone could think the Duchess of Cambridge going to hospital with morning sickness and having royal protection was partially responsible for the nurse's death so really I can't argue with you any further on the subject. I will let anyone who's interested read what you have written and perhaps they will be able to understand your words of wisdom.

Most of those who come under the media microscope are rich/famous/both, in high profile, privileged, glamourous contexts, for whom media attention is part of the deal, and who are probably already personally predisposed towards wanting attention anyway. This was an immigrant nurse in a middling role, who in her wildest nightmares couldn't ever have suspected that just another day at work could ever lead to her becoming A WORLD-WIDE LAUGHING STOCK, staring down the barrel of being sacked, and being almost certainly unemployable afterwards (would you hire "The Royal Hoax Call Nurse" for your hospital?) You do not become a nurse to lead a "life on the edge", and she just didn't sign up for this... All that said, she clearly had other issues, and these events were a last straw of some type, but she must have been affected to a degree unimaginable to most of us in order to have considered suicide and all its repercussions to her family be preferable to "getting over it"...
