Australian DJ Mel Greig promised to help the family of Indian nurse Jacintha Saldanha find answers to questions surrounding the suicide by participating in a British inquest in September.

Ms Greig, through a statement, said she is determined to answer any questions in relation to her role in the event which resulted in the death of Ms Saldanha. Ms Greig is one of the two Aussie DJs who faked a phone call to the London hospital where Duchess Kate Middleton was confined for early morning sickness.

The nurse passed on the phone to a colleague who divulged information, which caused Ms Saldanha to eventually hang herself in the staff accommodation out of apparent embarrassment due to her gaffe.

Ms Greig said she would appear at the inquest either in person or via video link. She and 2Day FM DJ Michael Christian had expressed remorse for their phone prank which ended in tragedy.

Slater & Gordon, the lawyers of Ms Greig, said that her thoughts had been with the family of Ms Saldanha since the death. Ms Saldanha, 46, left behind her husband and two teenage children.

The family of the nurse expressed satisfaction that Ms Greig will take part in the inquest, but they were not happy over the publication of three handwritten letters made by Ms Saldanha in which she blamed the two DJs for what happened.

While the inquest seeks to find out the cause of death of Ms Saldanha, there would be no blame. Days after the prank call and death of the nurse, the two DJs were reported to have sought counseling.

Rhys Holleran, chief executive of the Australian radio network where the two DJs worked, said the pair was distraught by what happened.

"I spoke to both presenters, and it's fair to say they're completely shattered. These people aren't machines, they're human beings. We're all affected by this," Mr Holleran was quoted by The Celebrity Café in December.
