Autopsy results on nurse in hoax due out Thursday
Husband of the late nurse Jacintha Saldanha, Benedict Barboza arrives at the Houses of Parliament in central London with daughter Lisha, 14, and son Junal, 16, for a meeting with a British Member of Parliament about Jacintha Saldanha's death Monday Dec, 10, 2012. Saldanha was found dead in central London on Friday, Dec. 7, 2012. Australian radio hosts managed to impersonate Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles and received confidential information about the Duchess of Cambridge's medical condition, in a hoax phone call to the King Edward VII hospital where the pregnant Duchess was staying and which was broadcast on-air. The controversial prank took a dark twist three days later with the death of nurse Saldanha, a 46-year-old mother of two, who was duped by the DJs despite their Australian accents.(AP Photo /Anthony Devlin/PA) UNITED KINGDOM OUT | Anthony Devlin

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