Cave rescue: Experts pull an American researcher from a Turkish cave, more than a week after he became seriously ill over 3,000 feet below its entrance.
on Monday, more than a week after he became seriously ill more than 3,000 feet below its entrance, said the Speleological Federation of Turkey.
Teams from across Europe had rushed to Morca cave in southern Turkey’s Taurus Mountains to aid Mark Dickey, a 40-year-old experienced caver who became seriously ill on Sept. 2 with stomach bleeding. He was on an expedition to map the cave, which is the country’s third deepest. Dickey was too frail to climb out himself, so rescuers carried him with the help of a stretcher, making frequent stops at temporary camps set up along the way.The American was first treated inside the cave by a Hungarian doctor who went down into the cave on Sept. 3. Doctors and rescuers then took turns caring for him. The cause of Dickey’s illness was not clear.
Rescue teams on Sunday had carried Dickey partway up from the depth of the cave so he could rest at a base camp. The rescue operation began Saturday afternoon with doctors, paramedics and experienced cavers converging from across Europe to help. They set up small medical base camps at various levels along the shaft, providing Dickey an opportunity to rest during the slow and arduous extrication.
