Nóra had been missing for 10 days.

Nóra Quoirin died from internal bleeding which is thought to be caused by prolonged hunger and stress, Malaysian police have stated.

According to Sky News, there is no signs that she was kidnapped or assaulted.

Four medical experts were involved in her post-mortem examination, which began yesterday, and said “for the time being” there is no evidence that she was kidnapped.

It is said that she died two or three days ago due to a ruptured intestine from being in the forest for so long.

 

The 15-year-old’s parents, Meabh and Sebastian, positively identified the remains discovered in the Malaysian rainforest on Tuesday.

In a statement issued through the Lucie Blackman Trust, her family said that their hearts were broken by Nóra’s passing.

“Nóra is at the heart of our family,” they said.

“She is the truest, most precious girl and we love her infinitely. The cruelty of her being taken away is unbearable. Our hearts are broken.

“We will always love our Nóra.”
