Jacintha Saldanha, the nurse found dead Friday following a phone prank from two Australian radio personalities that received worldwide attention, was a "proper and righteous person" who "would have would have felt much shame about the incident," her brother Naveen told Mail Online Sunday.
Saldanha, 46, is survived by husband, Benedict Barboza, 49, and children Lisha, 14, and Junal, 16. A devout Catholic, Jacintha and her husband moved from Mangalore in their native India to the United Kingdom more than 10 years ago. The family was understandably "very, very shocked and unhappy at the tragedy," a close friend told Australia's Herald Sun while Lisha posted on Facebook, "I miss you. I love you."
Saldanha's mother-in-law Carmine Barboza told the paper her son, an accountant, was "crying and couldn't speak much" after learning of his wife's death.
"More than that, we do not know about what actually happened," Carmine said. "She is dead, that's all. Jacintha was a very caring woman. We just cannot believe what has happened."
