Inquest postponed. Family angry about release of suicide note, but welcome Mel Greig’s participation.

The publication of Jacintha Saldanha’s suicide note in the UK press has distressed her family.

A statement issued in Britain today by family spokesperson Keith Vaz, also welcomes Mel Greig’s offer to front the inquest.

On behalf of the family, Vaz said:

The family of Jacintha Saldanha welcome the latest development concerning the application by the Australian DJ Mel Greig to appear before the inquest.

This will now allow the coroner to explore the role of the DJs in Jacintha’s tragic death.

The family feel this will give them the opportunity to ensure that all relevant parties are before the inquest, including the hospital, the DJs and the radio station.

They are, however, distressed at the publication of the content of one of the suicide notes which, of course, was private.

They have appointed John Cooper QC to represent them at the inquest.

Greig will not have to travel to London this week for the Inquest, because it has been postponed until September 12th.
