TASELI PLATEAU, Turkey — Rescue teams began the arduous process Saturday of extricating an American researcher who became seriously ill while he was 1,000 meters below the entrance of a cave in Turkey, officials said.
The 40-year-old experienced caver began vomiting on Sept. 2 because of stomach bleeding while on an expedition with a handful of others in the Morca cave in southern Turkey’s Taurus Mountains. “We have received information that his condition is getting better, thanks to medical intervention. He has been in stable condition as of yesterday,” he added.
Yusuf Ogrenecek of the Speleological Federation of Turkey says that one of the most difficult tasks of cave rescue operations is widening the narrow cave passages to allow stretcher lines to pass through at low depths.
