Prank Call Nurse 'Had Made Two Earlier Suicide Attempts'
A nurse who was found dead days after transferring a prank call made to the hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge was being treated for morning sickness, had made two previous suicide attempts, it has been claimed.
Jacintha Saldanha, 46, was found dead days after she transferred the call from two Australian DJs to a colleague who then described Kate's condition in detail.
It has now emerged she was being treated with anti-depressants and had made two attempts to take her own life during a family holiday in India, last December.

According to the Daily Mail, she was rushed to hospital after an overdose of pills, but tried to commit suicide again just nine days later by jumping from a building.
She was treated for depression and admitted to a psychiatric ward at Father Muller Medical College Hospital in
Mangalore, India, The Sun said.
Her brother Naveen Saldanha, 42, told the newspaper: “We didn’t know about the first incident, but we knew about the second.”
The news comes as it emerged Scotland Yard has submitted a file to the Crown Prosecution Service relating to the prank call.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) will now consider whether any potential offences may have been committed, Scotland Yard said.
Ms Saldanha, a mother-of-two, was found dead in her nurses' quarters at London's King Edward VII's Hospital by a colleague and a security guard on 7 December.
