Malaysian police on Thursday said they found no signs of foul play in the death of an Irish girl who went missing from a rainforest resort on August 4.
"For the time being, there was no element of abduction or kidnapping," the police chief of the Malaysian state of Negeri Sembilan told reporters.
The body of 15-year-old Nora Anne Quoirin, who suffered from learning difficulties, was found on Tuesday after a 10-day search.
The officer added that the autopsy established that Quoirin had died from internal bleeding, probably caused by prolonged hunger and stress.
"Samples have been taken from Nora's body and sent to the chemistry department for further testing," he added.
This comes a day after French authorities said they had opened a criminal investigation into Quoirin's case.
