The teenager had disappeared in Malaysia in 2019. Nora Quoirin, a 15-year-old Franco-Irish woman, vanished the day after her arrival, with her family, at the Dusun Resort, a tourist complex located about 70 km away. south of the capital Kuala Lumpur, on the edge of the jungle.

The body of the teenager with a slight mental handicap was found after ten days of searching.

The police had concluded to an accidental death.

But the parents are convinced that their daughter was not able to venture far on her own, and that she had been abducted.

"After examining all the relevant evidence, I concluded that no one was involved in the death of Nora Anne (Quoirin)," medical examiner Maimoonah Aid said on Monday.

"It is more likely that she died as a result of a mishap," she said.

40 witnesses

For the forensic scientist, the teenager surely left the family home "on her own" before getting "lost in the palm plantation" which was abandoned.

The family had called for a judicial investigation to determine the causes of death.

This investigation opened at the end of August and made it possible to hear more than 40 witnesses.

The police have repeated that they have no clue that could suggest a criminal trail in the death of the teenager and believe that she herself came out of her chalet through the window.

But her parents, who live in London, said they heard suspicious noises in the chalet the night she disappeared, and described the police response as slow and ineffective.

The autopsy had concluded that the girl had probably died of internal bleeding induced by hunger, after spending more than a week in the rainforest.
