US researcher ‘doing well’ in Turkish hospital after cave rescue

An American researcher is “doing well” in a Turkish hospital after rescuers pulled him out of a cave where he fell seriously ill and became trapped 1,000m below its entrance for more than a week.
Rescuers from Turkey and across Europe cheered and clapped as Mark Dickey, a 40-year-old experienced caver, emerged from Morca cave in southern Turkey’s Taurus Mountains strapped to a stretcher at 12.37am local time on Tuesday.
