[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;40460093]Well I sure as hell don't have sympathy for the radio hosts[/QUOTE]
Worst thing they did was make a prank phone call and they've been demonised over it.
[QUOTE=Sableye;40460113]i find it rather suspicous that these "notes" were finally found like what 3-4 months after the fact....
i know its tragic, but im still not convinced these dj's are the real cause for her suicide, nobody takes their job that seriously, she obviously had something else wrong in her life.
its just something about this whole ordeal smells fishy and its not because of the fish n chips...
also the DJs have already created a trust of 500,000$ for both of her children, all that out of their own will, i can't believe the family is actually taking them to court still, what more do they want? do they want to send these dj's to jail? thats not going to help anybody
this is just a case where the people should just drop it, because nobody is really at fault here, she just was depressed and killed herself, she had tried to kill herself multiple times, putting two innocent djs from half a world away in jail is not going to solve anything[/QUOTE]
Where does it say they're being taken to court? The article only says it's a possibility.
And the notes weren't found just this month, they were being held as evidence, and were only just released to the public at the end of March.
I don't really understand the prank or why it personally affected the nurse. That article repeats itself over and over in a number of paraphrases, I feel like I just read the word "inquest" about 12 times. All I understand is that they made a prank call pretending to be members of the royal family... and?
And as for this thread for some reason I just read the word "bitch" for three pages straight. No one cares if you guys think she's a "bitch" or not. Why is everyone stuck on that word all of a sudden anyway? It's like one person said it and the rest of facepunch just confirmed what I already knew (that this place is full of uncreative bandwagon-hopping cretins). Expand your insult vocab.

Aren't you the guy who thinks that gays being burnt to death is a good thing?
[QUOTE=Harpie;40451798]By having an unpaid mortgage she's already given reason enough to have us believe she had other shit going on. She was probably just a stressed housewife who got the final straw on the camel's back.[/QUOTE]
I don't know what it's like in the UK, but pretty much every homeowner in the US has an unpaid mortgage. Mortgages are almost impossible to pay off
I don't think people are calling her a bitch because she blamed the two DJ's for her suicide, but because of "Please make them pay my mortgage"

Why isn't an excuse.

She was probably frantic at the time of writing and didn't realize that debts come out of your estate when you die and anything left over disappears. Lots of people wrongly assume your kids end up being stuck with your debts.
Ofc her husband is also likely a signing party on the mortgage so he'll still need to pay it

Oh my fucking god.
If she was alive and expected the DJs to pay her mortgage everybody would be calling her a bitch, but the fact that she is dead suddenly changes that?
Fine, she might not have been in a great mental state, so instead we could say she was BEING a bitch.
Does that make you fucking happy?

no because you're still calling someone who was in enough psychological anguish and pain to kill themselves a bitch just for being mentally ill
god retarded people are so fucking stupid lets blame them for that shit oh my god!! grr!!!

The fact that she is dead (killed herself), shows us that her mental state was in the shitter, and thus we have an explanation for why she asked them to pay her mortgage, other than "being a bitch". It's not rocket science to understand this shit.
why do you people care so fucking much about "pay my mortgage" anyway its not like they actually have to it may as well have been a joke jesus christ
as a senior prank correspondent, a prank call cannot drive someone to suicide
doing sokuku makes me lose all respect for the person

[i]well.......[/i] it clearly did.

As has been said multiple times already, she already had other problems, and had been struggling with depression for some time, the prank call and subsequent media storm (most likely the media storm in particular) simply drove her over the edge.

Yes it was a trigger
Also being the main factor
[QUOTE=DrBreen;40464452]Also being the main factor[/QUOTE]
How the hell do you know that?
Well, hopefully their lives aren't ruined, that sucks.
"make them pay my mortgage"
made me laugh way harder than I should have
[QUOTE=LarparNar;40464460]How the hell do you know that?[/QUOTE]
maybe because after they pranked called her she killed herself?
[QUOTE=DrBreen;40467706]maybe because after they pranked called her she killed herself?[/QUOTE]
So it pushed her over the edge, that doesn't mean it was the main factor at all. (I'm not saying it isn't the main factor, I'm saying I don't know and you probably don't either).

They didn't prank her though.
