London police has said the autopsy result on the nurse involved in a prank call for information about the Kate Middleton’s hospital stay would be revealed on Thursday.

Scotland Yard said on Wednesday the cause of Jacintha Saldanha’s death would not be released until a Westminster Coroner’s Court hearing on the issue.

Saldanha took the call when two Australian disc jockeys rang up the hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge was under treatment for severe morning sickness. The DJs, who were impersonating Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles, later broadcast the call.

Saldanha was found dead on Friday. Although police have made no connection between Saldanha’s death and the prank call, people from London to Sydney have been making the assumption she died because of stress after the hoax call incident.
