Lawyer SN Nair, who is representing the family, said an inquest would be essential to determining how Nora Anne died, adding that her death had come under questionable circumstances.

“Nora Anne’s family feels a more in-depth probe is needed although police have found no elements of abduction as earlier revealed.

“An inquest would give a clearer picture of how their precious child died under such circumstances. Nora Anne’s family may file an application for an inquest,” he said when contacted.

Nora Anne, who was reported missing on Aug 4, was found dead in a ravine about 2.5km from the resort where her family had been staying after a 10-day search.

A post-mortem revealed that she had died of gastrointestinal bleeding, likely due to hunger and stress. Authorities had said no foul play was involved.

However, Nora Anne’s father, Sebastien Quoirin, told an Irish paper that the results did not explain how his daughter, who had learning disabilities, could have ended up naked in the ravine.

Her mother, Meabh Quoirin, also said that Nora Anne was “very shy” and “would not venture beyond the family’s front door on her own, let alone wander off into a jungle”.
