The nurse who apparently took her own life following the royal hoax call scandal left a note for her family, it emerged yesterday.

Jacintha Saldanha had not told her husband or children that she was involved in the incident, meaning the letter may provide their only clue to what prompted the respected nurse to take such a drastic and tragic step.

A post-mortem examination was held yesterday on the body of Mrs Saldanha, who was the first unwitting member of staff at the King Edward VII Hospital in London, where the Duchess of Cambridge was being treated for acute moing sickness, to take the call made by two Australian DJs pretending to be the Queen and Prince Charles.
