A researcher from the United States has been rescued from deep inside a cave in southern Turkey where he had become trapped after falling ill more than a week ago, Turkey’s TUMAF caving federation said,
Mark Dickey, 40, was removed safely from the cave on Tuesday at 12:37am local time (21:37 GMT Monday) after spending more than a week underground with a serious illness, sparking an international effort to rescue him from a depth of 1,040 metres (more than 3,400 feet) inside the Morca cave in Turkey’s Taurus mountains.
