The death of Nóra Quoirin occurred on approximately the 11th August, 2019, following her unexplained disappearance from Sora House in the Dusun eco-resort near Seremban, Malaysia.[1] The 15-year-old British national from Balham in South London had been on holiday with her family when she disappeared from their rented chalet on the night of August 3rd.[2][3] This triggered an intensive search by local authorities,[4] which ended with the discovery of her body in a surrounding area of jungle, on August 13th.[5] Nora had been born with holoprosencephaly, a disorder that affects brain development and left her "vulnerable".[4]
An initial post-mortem report by Malaysian authorities determined cause of death to be gastrointestinal bleeding attributed to hunger and stress, and found no evidence of criminal involvement in the death.[6] However, after the case was closed in January 2020,[7] Nóra's parents campaigned for its reopening, citing incomplete work and a suggestion that she could not have left the chalet by herself, leading to a belief that Nóra may have been "kidnapped".[8] A second post-mortem conducted on behalf of the family in the continued inquest also found no evidence of a struggle.[9] The case was ultimately ruled to have been a death by misadventure in January 2021.[1] Nóra's parents maintain that the case should be reopened due to continued suspicions of abduction.[10]
