Mel & Michael Suspend Themselves After The Nurse They Pranked Commits Suicide

Mel and Michael, the Australians radio hosts behind the Duchess Kate hospital prank, have put themselves in time out after the nurse who transferred them to Kate’s nurse killed herself today. SCA, the company that owns 2Day FM released this statement to TMZ:

“SCA and 2Day FM are deeply saddened by the tragic news of the death of nurse Jacintha Saldanha from King Edward VII’s Hospital. SCA and the hosts have decided that they will not return to their radio show until further notice out of respect for what can only be described as a tragedy.”

Mel and Michael also hit the delete button their Twitter accounts and are refusing to open their mouths to the media about this. A rep for King Edward VIII Hospital said that Nurse Jacintha  Saldanha was a good nurse and liked by all her co-workers, and they also said that she wasn’t punished for transferring the call. I said this in my other post, but Nurse Jacintha only answered the phone, because the receptionist was away.

There seems to be two reactions to this. Some people are screaming that Mel and Michael need to be fired, skinned alive and turned into poopy bags for the Queen’s corgis. The others are saying that no, it wasn’t not funny, but it was just a dumb prank and the DJs shouldn’t be blamed. As for me, I’m on the side that isn’t saying shit, because THE QUEEN is not the one and has 007 on speed dial.
