British police say they have contacted Australian
authorities about a possible investigation into an Australian radio
station's hoax call to a U.K. hospital.
   
The callers impersonated Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles
and received confidential details about the former Kate Middleton's
medical information. The call was recorded and broadcast.
   
The prank took an ugly twist Friday with the death of nurse
Jacintha Saldanha, a 46-year-old mother of two, three days after she
took the hoax call.
   
Police have not yet determined Saldanha's cause of death, but
people from London to Sydney have been making the assumption that
she died because of stress from the call.
   
The disk jockeys involved have been suspended indefinitely.
   
Australian police Sunday confirmed they had been contacted by
London police and said they would co-operate.
