Two Australian DJs who made a hoax phone call to the hospital where Kate Middleton was being treated for morning sickness could be in hiding for months due to ongoing fears for their safety. Sydney-based 2DayFM radio presenters . Michael Christian and Mel Greig, called King Edward VII Hospital in London last week in a bid to gain information about the Duchess of Cambridge's condition. Nurse Jacintha Saldanha, 46, unwittingly transferred their call to a colleague who gave the DJs detailed information on the Duchess's health. Ms Saldanha was found hanged days later - leading to worldwide condemnation of the DJs' prank. In hiding: Sydney-based 2DayFM radio presenters Michael Christian (left) and Mel Greig (right) have gone into hiding following the death of nurse Jacintha Saldanha . Mr Christian and Ms Greig made a . grovelling apology in two interviews aired on Australian TV following . the death of the nurse, but have had to go into hiding after receiving threats. At least eight other senior staff . members at the 2Day FM radio station and its parent company, . SCAustereo, are also under the protection of security guards as they . remain at a number of secret locations in Sydney and Melbourne. A radio station source told the Mail today that ‘there are people out there who obviously want to . cause trouble and no risks are being taken as far as the safety of . everyone who might have held some responsibility for the hoax is . concerned.’ Duped: Nurse Saldanha was found hanged just days after the hoax call . What has added to the fears, in the . wake of a week of hate messages on social media, is a letter sent from . South Australia and addressed to DJ Michael Christian warning him that . there was a bullet with his name on it. It is understood the letter, accompanied by a torrent of foul language, also mentioned a shotgun. Australian police, who are liaising . with Scotland Yard as a probe continues into the hoax call, are keeping in close . contact with radio station executives as a wave of fear runs through the . radio network. Police are continuing to scour social . media for any sign of further threats – and are watching for fake . messages on sites that pretend to be sourced from the radio station or . its staff. One disrespectful message regarding . Miss Saldanha and purporting to have been written by SCAustereo chief . executive officer Rhyss Holleran was dismissed by a company spokeswoman . yesterday as ‘a total fabrication.’ Sam Kaye told the Mail: ‘This is . clearly a fake, following on from other fake messages that have been . written by people out to hurt us. Mr Holleran would not be a party to . anything like this, whether the eyes of the world were on us or not.’ British police are understood to have . asked their Australian counterparts for the names of people who would . need to be questioned about the radio hoax as part of their inquiries . into the suicide of nurse Saldanha. Sydney’s Daily Telegraph today published photos of 10 staff members who were directly, or indirectly, behind the prank call. As well as the two DJs and Mr Holleran, they include the executive producer of the prank show, Hot30, Emily Mills and Guy Dobson, SCAustreo's head of content. Together: Ms Jacintha's husband Barboza (centre) and her children Lisha and Junal (pictured here with Labour MP Keith Vaz (right), had no idea the nurse had received the hoax phone call . The body of Jacintha Saldanha, 46, was discovered in her room in staff quarters last Friday. Two notes were found nearby and a third was among her possessions. The mother of two had also sent a . number of emails and made telephone calls that police believe might help . explain what happened. During a five-minute hearing at . Westminster Coroner’s Court earlier this week it was revealed that attempts were . made to revive the nurse but they were ‘to no avail’. Scotland Yard detectives are examining . the notes, as well as interviewing Mrs Saldanha’s friends, family and . colleagues at London’s King Edward VII hospital. Mrs . Saldanha, a night sister, was the senior nurse on duty when she took a . call at 5.30am on Tuesday from Australian DJs Mel Greig and Michael . Christian, who were pretending to be the Queen and Prince Charles. She . unwittingly transferred the call to a colleague, who described in . detail the condition of Kate, who was being treated for severe morning . sickness. Mr Harman told the hearing detectives . had been in contact with colleagues in New South Wales and would be . taking statements from those involved in the prank call. Mrs Saldanha, who was born in India, . lived in London during the week and returned home to Bristol to be with . her family at weekends. Mr Barboza and children Junal, 17, and Lisha, . 14, had been expecting her home for the weekend and were apparently . unaware of her role in the hoax call. Labour MP Keith Vaz, who has been . representing the family, said they could expect the results of a . post-mortem examination within four days. Southern Cross Austereo, the parent . company of Sydney-based 2Day FM which broadcast the hoax call, has ended . Greig and Christian’s Hot 30 show and suspended prank calls across the . company.
