LONDON (AP) A nurse found departed days after she took a crank call about the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge was originally from India, British police said Saturday, as details began to trickle out about the woman whose death has sparked nettle at the Australian radio DJs behind the hoax. Jacintha Saldanha, 46, was found deceased early Friday at nurses' housing provided by London's King Edward VII hospital, where Prince William's wife, the former Kate Middleton, was being treated for sharp morning sickness this week. Police released a grainy photo of Saldanha on Saturday. She had lived in Bristol in southwestern England with her family for the past nine years, Scotland Yard confirmed. Police said her death is being treated as "unexplained," though they said they didn't locate all suspicious. A coroner will create a determination upon the intelligence next week. Police have made no connection between her death and the prank call, but state from London to Sydney have been making the assumption that she died because of stress from the call. Flowers were left outside the hospital's nurses' building. Attached to the red, white and blue flowers, a sign read: "Dear Jacintha, our thoughts are with you and your family. From every your fellow nurses, we bless your soul. God bless." A man identified as Saldanha's driving instructor Jeff Sellick, told Sky News he was in "complete shock" at her death, adage "it's fair such a humiliate, she was such a friendly person." In a statement, Saldanha's family said they were "deeply saddened" by the death and asked for privacy. Saldanha had worked for four years at the hospital. She took the hoax call Tuesday by the two DJs from 2DayFM, and transferred the call to the nurse caring for the duchess. During the call, a woman using the often-mimicked express of Britain's monarch asked about the duchess' health. She was told by the instant nurse who took the call from Saldanha that the duchess, the former Kate Middleton, "hasn't had any retching with me and she's been sleeping upon and off." The recorded conversation sparked international headlines, and the DJs, Mel Greig and Michael Christian, soon apologized for the prank. They have said they will not revert to the station until further solemnize, though the foremost executive of the station's parent company has said he stands behind them. The Australian Communications and Media Authority, which regulates radio broadcasting, says it has received complaints about the prank and is discussing the subject with the Sydney-based station, though it has not yet begun an investigation. The station has a history of controversy, including a series of "Heartless Hotline" shows in which handicap state were offered a prize that could be taken away from them by listeners. St. James's Palace, the office of the duchess and her husband Prince William, expressed sadness at Saldanha's death, but insisted that it had not complained about the hoax. King Edward VII's Hospital said it did not rebuke Saldanha, nor had plans to remedy her. Officials from St. James's Palace have said the duchess is not quiet 12 weeks pregnant. The child would be the first for her and William.
