Well, it does seem to be a week for “I can’t believe it was suicide” stories. There’s a big difference, though, between the Serbian diplomat who took a header over a railing in a parking garage and the nurse in England who turned up dead this morning.
Mel Greig and Michael Christian…it’s just the kind of humor they do
In the first case, there’s enough about the story that doesn’t add up that it makes perfect sense to say “I can’t believe that was suicide. I suspect he was actually murdered in a way that it would look like suicide, like British scientist David Kelly or the late, great Marilyn Monroe.” (I believe the Kennedy’s did it).
In the second case, it’s more like “I can’t believe she committed suicide over something like that.” The other day, a couple of Australian funny radio types called the hospital where she worked, pretending to be Queen Elizabeth and her husband, the crazy old racist guy with a bit of the old Tourette’s syndrome.
That’s because Kate Middleton, prince William’s wife, the Queen’s granddaughter-in-law, is a patient there. Something to do with her being pregnant. Jacintha Saldanha, the nurse who later killed herself, put the call through to Kate’s nurse, who also was fooled.
So, I can understand her being sort of mortified by her mistake, but she wasn’t the only one who was fooled, so she shouldn’t have felt bad. And nobody got hurt, so she had no reason to feel guilty. Maybe she was depressed over other things but everybody that knew her said she was popular and good at her job, and she had 2 sons and a steady guy.
So, it just seems off but on the other hand, I can’t think of why anyone would have a motive to do her in. I’m not a huge fan of the royals, but they wouldn’t do anything like that. (No, the Queen did not have Diana murdered. That’s just silly.) Also, no motive.
The two radio personalities have resigned. Personally, I see them as blameless. It sort of reminds me of Jeff Bridges’ character in The Fisher King. That was a really incredible movie. If you’ve never seen it, you should.
