Physically challenged with a twin sister and staying alone in a room? How? Rooms are very expensive, no way she could be staying alone. She has died from serious and discriminated loneliness.If she was physically challenged, I mean disabled, why her sister was not looking after her.Discrimination in purest form indeed. All the same, Esther rest in peace

Physically challenged is not a good way of describing people. Next time use something like Disabled.

“Physically challenged” is better, more neutral, and more diplomatic than “disabled”; so it is said in our modern-day interaction.
