Missing Nora Quoirin: Body found in Malaysia search
A body has been found in the search for a vulnerable 15-year-old girl who went missing while on holiday in Malaysia.
Nora Quoirin, who has special needs, disappeared from her room at the Dusun resort on 4 August.
Malaysian police confirmed rescuers had found a body on Tuesday near where Nora was reported missing.
Missing persons charity the Lucie Blackman Trust said the body had not been identified but was "likely" to be the teenager, from London.
About 350 people had been searching for Nora in dense jungle near the resort.
BBC correspondent Howard Johnson said the body of a white female had been found just over a mile (2km) away from the Dusun.
Mazlan Mansor, Malaysia's deputy police chief, told a press conference it "resembles Nora" and her family were travelling to hospital to identify the body.
It was too early to reveal anything more about the investigation but a post-mortem examination will be carried out soon, he added.
