It's heartbreaking. In her short life she had to struggle with severe learning difficulties, and then died in such a tragic way. I see at this stage the cause of death is inconclusive, but she was found naked in a stream; it's impossible to imagine anything other than foul play. Perhaps there's another explanation, but it seems very unlikely. Your heart bleeds for her poor family.
Very sad, more information due.Quote:

I can't understand how a post mortem has concluded that there was no foul play.
A severely disabled, vulnerable teenager is found dead and naked a mile away from where she went missing in a foreign country that she had only arrived in a few days earlier.
Something doesn't add up there.
I hope her parents find the truth, I can't imagine what they're going through. Such a horrible tragedy.
Heard the spokesman this morning and he didn't sound very convincing with his no foul play line.
So they are saying hunger and stress was the cause of death and she wasn't killed. Yet she was naked in a stream? It's bizarre. Hopefully more details emerge.
Just to clarify, they're not saying the cause of death was starvation; they're saying it was internal bleeding brought on by stress and hunger. Starvation is something different.Quote:

She wanders off, gets lost in thick jungle, she gets more and more stressed, her body breaks down, overheats, is delirious, strips off her clothes, and goes into a stream to cook down?Quote:
