Malaysian coroner visits dead Irish teen Nora Quoirin's death site

An autopsy found Nora probably starved and died of internal bleeding after about a week in the jungle, and authorities classified the case as"requiring no further action".But her family pushed for an inquest, and a coroner has set dates from Aug 24 to Sep 4 for one to take place.

On Thursday, the coroner, prosecutors and the family's lawyer, under police escort, inspected the resort and the area where her body was found in the town of Seremban, Negeri Sembilan state, 63 km south of Kuala Lumpur. "The coroner took the opportunity to visit the place where the victim stayed and where the body of Nora was found," Negeri Sembilan deputy police chief Che Zakaria Othman told reporters after the three-hour tour.READ: Investigations into death of Irish teen Nora Quoirin still ongoing: Malaysian police"She visited the Dusun resort, the waterfall, she walked in a stream and went to the location where the body was found," Sakthyvell told AFP.

He added that the teen's parents would not be present during the inquest proceedings due to coronavirus-related restrictions, but would be interviewed by the coroner over a conferencing platform.Sixty-four witnesses are expected to be called, the family's previous lawyer Sankara Nair said earlier.
