Fatal Myanmar maid abuse: Victim had low BMI akin to someone with advanced cancer or extensive TB

Dr Paul, who performed the autopsy on Ms Piang Ngaih Don a day after her death, said her BMI of about 11.3 – which had fallen from about 18.3 in about 10 months – indicated she was severely undernourished.

After describing one of the photos of her body as pretty ghastly, he said Ms Piang Ngaih Don’s intestines were thin and shrunken. Her liver had an abnormal appearance and was stained with bile, which could have meant there was hardly any fat entering it. He clarified this on Monday, saying one would usually be able to tense up the neck muscles to guard and prevent one’s self from suffering severe trauma.
