When we refer to a preexisting condition, we mean besides the holoprosencephaly. A reader on this site recently mentioned an important point. It has to do with body weight. One way to track Nora’s health would be to simply examine a timeline of photos, and estimate whether or not there are significant weight fluctuations, especially in the last few months of her life.
Nora appears to have a healthy weight in the image with her mother, perhaps the most frequently used image by the media. But in other images, Nora seems to be a lot thinner.
Nora’s physique is also related to those of her parents, both of whom are skinny.
Again, we have no images of Nora in Malaysia to work with. Strangely, all the images provided to the media thus far have been undated, although this one [below, which appears to be Nora on her 15th birthday] can be dated theoretically. Any images of Nora posted on Facebook can be dated theoretically too. But even Nora’s exact birth date [sometime in 2004] is currently unknown.
One site lists her weight as 55 kilograms, or 121 pounds. Her weight based on the autopsy report is also currently unknown.
