The 2DayFM Sydney-based announcers, Mel Greig and Michael Christian, said the tragedy had left them "shattered, gutted, heartbroken."
Greig and fellow presenter and prank mastermind Christian have been in hiding since nurse Jacintha Saldanha's death and the subsequent social media outrage at their prank. Saldanha's is being treated as unexplained while an investigation takes place.
Greig told the “Today Tonight” program (http://au.news.yahoo.com/today-tonight/celebrity/article/-/15596037/2day-fm-radio-prank-tragedy/) on Australia’s Channel 7 that her first thought when told of Saldanha's death was for her family.
