Prank Nurse Death -Suicide? ...or Honour Killing...?

[joko]

there is no proof yet that its suicide - thats just an assumption.
also apparently her husband phoned relatives and just told them that she was 'no more', but didnt say why or how she died ...

theres been talk of her culture meaning the shame was too much for her, but there has also been mention of it being an 'honour' killing ... for being duped so publicly and supposedly bringing shame on the family...

in a way it'd make more sense than her doing it... it must take a lot to want to kill yourself...and to actually do it - despair, depression, no way out etc - but its only been a few days ... doesnt seem long enough to reach that level really...and to leave your kids motherless... especially given how minor her part in the prank actually was ...

what do you think?

[boxtops]

i haven't heard that speculation, joko, and if there should be substance to it then it's very cruel. She was just a small player (as you say) - it was nurse #2 who gave out the confidential patient information, who committed, IMO, a far more serious action.

I did hear on one report (unconfirmed, speculation) that she was an anxious lady, so perhaps this was the last straw for her.

"theres been talk of her culture "

Which culture would that be?

I've never heard of Honour killing as part of the Christian tradition.

what do you think?



Speculation.

[sandyRoe]

Al Fayed thinks that Prince Philip is a sinister éminence gris who jealously guards the reputation of the Royal Family. You're not suggesting that he might have had a hand in this, are you?

[mightyWBA]

I reckon Philip definately had a hand in it sandy..They made the poor nurse think that terrible impression of his Missus was really her.
The Duke has struck again...Allegedly.
I see they've dug Yasser Arafat up,suspicious death..It's a well known fact Philip had the Beatles on his hit list ...Lennon & Harrison gone..Arafat was meant to be Ringo,mistaken identity they could have been twins.
McCartney keeps being invited to Palace events,perhaps they're slowly poisoning him....

/// I've never heard of Honour killing as part of the Christian tradition.///

I don't think that she was Christian, being that she was of Asian descent.

[Charity]

Cliff Richard was in on it (he's a double agent)

[sandyRoe]

AOG, St Andrew is thought, by some, to have brought Christianity to Asia before it ever reached our shores.

[bookbinder]

Speculation achieves nothing. Let's wait for the result of an official investigation.

[boxtops]

You can still be Christian if you're an Asian, AOG, same as you can be Muslim and be from white Anglo-Saxon stock.

[dotty.]

Apparently Jacintha was from Mangalore in South West India and her family lived in Bristol. Her religion could be Hindu, or Christian or muslim, doesn't change the fact that they have to bury her now, either here or at home in India, and the australian media are reporting that the female that impersonated the queen is at risk of 'self - harm', think she's already done that.

[TWR]

With total respect for the nurse, do you not think this has been blown out of all proportion, after all it was meant as a prank, but has really back fired.

[joko]

TWR, I agree totally - its crazy the stuff ive read on other forums - people calling for them to be imprisoned, sued etc - one veen called it cold blooded murder.

regarding this question - yes of course its specualtion - given that i know nothing about the case , what else could it be...?
its just based on comments i have seen elsewhere and i was cuirious as to whether it was just a few peoples opinions or more widespread.

there is no evidence for suicide you see - they just put two and two together and assumed ...

[joko]

to my 'knowledge' she is not a christian - and even if she was chances are many members of her family are muslims.

[boxtops]

It matters not - honour killings tend to be culture-based, IMO, not based on religious teachings.

The radio presenters are said to be having counselling - I have no sympathy for them, it's the nurse's husband and children who should be looked after now.

[friedgreentomato]

Your speculation is interesting if rather off the wall!!

[Teels]

I think there must have been some other crises going on in her life, as suicide does seem a bit of a drastic action to take, after all, as joko says, her part in this whole sorry mess up was very limited and I wouldn't have thought, enough to "tip her over the edge". r
I am not sure why the Australian presenters need counselling...they should have the proverbial book thrown at them.

[boxtops]

My thought entirely, teels - OK they might not have foreseen this consequence, but they clearly didn't consider what rules and etiquette they might have been breaching. Idiots.

[boxtops]

She's definitely Christian - they have just interviewed her priest, she worships at the church of St Vincent de Paul.
