The nurse tricked by a radio prank call was found hanging from a wardrobe by a scarf, an inquest has heard.<\/h1>\n

Jacintha Saldanha died days after falling victim to the hoax that targeted the hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge was being treated.<\/p>\n

The opening of her inquest at Westminster Coroner’s Court heard injuries were found on the nurse’s wrists – and that she had also left three notes.<\/p>\n

Two were found in her room at London’s King Edward VII hospital and another was among her possessions.<\/p>\n

The inquest was told police were exploring emails and texts sent by the 46-year-old, who was discovered in her nurses’ quarters by a colleague and a security guard on Friday.<\/p>\n

Officers are also interviewing Ms Saldanha’s friends and family, and staff at the Australian radio station responsible for the prank.<\/p>\n

Detective Chief Inspector James Harman said: “On Friday December 7 Jacintha Saldanha was found by a colleague and a member of security staff. Sadly she was found hanging.<\/p>\n

“There was also injuries to her wrist. The London Ambulance Service was called to the scene. At this time there are no suspicious circumstances.”<\/p>\n

The inquest came as pressure mounted on bosses at the radio station to name the executives responsible for airing the hoax.<\/p>\n

Australia’s independent media watchdog, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), has had 2,500 complaints from around the world over the 2Day FM segment.<\/p>\n

ACMA has announced a rare fast-track investigation into the prank, which saw Ms Saldanha put two radio hosts through to a fellow nurse who unwittingly revealed details about Kate’s treatment.<\/p>\n

DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian impersonated the Queen and Prince Charles, with the “monarch” making enquiries about her “granddaughter”.<\/p>\n

Australia’s radio broadcasting code stipulates that it is a breach to record a person in conversation, and also air it, without their knowledge.<\/p>\n

The radio station insists it did not break the law and says it tried to contact the hospital on five separate occasions. The hospital disputes any contact was ever sought.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
