ISTANBUL—Turkish and international cave rescue experts worked Thursday to reach an American researcher who got trapped inside a cave in southern Turkey at a depth of more than 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) after he became ill.
Mark Dickey, 40, was in Morca cave in southern Turkey’s Taurus Mountains when he experienced gastrointestinal bleeding, according to the European Cave Rescue Association. He was unable to leave the cave on his own, the association said on its website.
