Charges Considered For 2Day FM Personalities

British prosecutors will decide whether to pursue charges against two Australian DJs after a nurse who took a hoax call to a hospital treating Prince William's pregnant wife Catherine apparently killed herself.

According to skynews.com.au, Scotland Yard said officers have sent a file to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) over the prank earlier this month by presenters Mel Greig and Michael Christian, from Sydney's 2Day FM radio station.

Indian-born nurse Jacintha Saldanha, 46, was found dead in her lodgings near King Edward VII's Hospital in central London, where Catherine was being treated for acute morning sickness, on December 7.

'Following the death of Jacintha Saldanha, officers have liaised with the CPS as to whether any criminal offences had been committed in relation to the hoax call made to King Edward VII's Hospital in the early hours of Tuesday, 4 December,' Scotland Yard said in a statement on Saturday.

It said officers submitted a file to the CPS on Wednesday for it to consider whether any potential offences may have been committed by making the hoax call.

Saldanha left three notes, one of which reportedly criticised colleagues over her treatment at the hospital.

It was not immediately clear how British prosecutors could pursue foreigners for a possible offence originated outside Britain.

Greig and Christian made tearful televised apologies for making the call, in which they posed as Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles and obtained private details of Catherine's medical condition.

Australian police say death threats have been made against the presenters.

The station has cancelled the show which ran the segment, suspended all prank calls and pledged at least $A500,000 to help the grieving family.

Australia's media watchdog has also opened an investigation into the call.
