Nora Quoirin’s parents confirm body found is their daughter
Ten days ago, Malaysians were shocked to hear that a 15-year-old Irish girl had gone missing from the tropical rainforest resort she was staying with her family in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan.
Today the search has come to a tragic end.
At around 1.57pm today (Aug 13), Astro Awani reported that Negeri Sembilan Police Chief, Datuk Mohamad Mat Yusop said the Search and Rescue team had found a body about 2km from the resort where Nora Anne was reported to have gone missing.
The body was then sent to Tuanku Jaafar Hospital to be identified and for a post mortem.
Nora’s parents, Sebastien and Maebh, have positively identified the body to be their 15-year-old daughter.
Nora was reportedly found “unclothedâ€, in a hilly area with a ravine and had to be “winched†out and transported via helicopter to the hospital.
Nora Anne Quoirin went missing from her room in the resort early Sunday morning (Aug 4). The only clue to her disappearance was the opened bedroom window.
