If it's foreseeable that the one who released information would commit suicide, then it's also foreseeable that the one who transferred the call would commit suicide. See what I mean about having mixed feelings? I shouldn't have posted in this thread until I figured out where I stood on the issue.]

When I first heard of the nurse's death, before it was identified as suicide, I wondered if the nurse who released information got mad at the nurse who transferred the call and subsequently killed her.

It's a shame though, all the way around. The nurse who released info made poor decisions, the deejays made poor decisions, the nurse who committed suicide made poor decisions... such negativity surrounding what should be a celebratory event (that an heir is on the way, not Kate's hospitalization).
