Jacintha Saldanha, the well-respected nurse who unwittingly transferred a prank phone call to another nurse caring for Kate Middleton at a private hospital in London, left a suicide note, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.

In another stunning development, Australian media is reporting that Saldanha did not tell her family about the phony phone call, prior to taking her own life.

News outlets in the UK reported the presence of a suicide note Tuesday, though the contents of the purported note have not been made public at this time. One clue as to what it might reveal came from comments from her brother Naveen, who told Mail Online Sunday that the nurse was "a proper and righteous person" who "would have would have felt much shame about the incident."

Meanwhile, an autopsy is being performed Tuesday on Saldanha’s body, who was found dead last Friday -- only days after the prank gone horribly wrong.

As we previously reported, the 46-year-old wife and mother-of-two was the senior duty nurse at the King Edward VII Hospital when two Australian radio DJ’s Mel Greig and Michael Christian called pretending to be the Queen and Prince Charles. The phone call was made at 5:
