Nóra Quoirin: Malaysia opens inquest into death of London teenager

An inquest has opened into the death of a London teenager who was found dead while on a family holiday in Malaysia.

15 year old Nóra Quoirin, vanished from her room at the Dusun rainforest resort last August.

Her unclothed body was found beside a stream just over a mile away after a 10-day search operation.

Malaysian police said there was no foul play but Nóra’s parents said she would not have wandered off alone otherwise, and fought for an inquest.

An initial post-mortem report said that Nóra had died due to gastrointestinal bleeding from hunger and stress over a prolonged period.

Nóra was born with Holoprosencephaly, a disorder which affects brain development.

The inquest is scheduled to last until September 18.
