The funeral of Jacintha Saldanha, the nurse found dead just days after patching through a prank phone call from two Australian DJs, will be held today in India. Saldanha’s family, husband Benedict Barboza and children Junal and Lisha, accompanied her body on the flight back to her home country. The service will take place at Our Lady of Health Church in the town of Shirva, Karnataka, near Mangalore. In a moving tribute Saturday, her children described the “unfillable void” that her sudden death left in their lives. The two Australian DJs responsible for the call were reportedly “shattered” with the news of her death.
