Four dead in Antarctica helicopter crash

HOBART, Australia, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- Four French researchers missing in Antarctica have died following a helicopter crash, authorities in Australia said.

The helicopter was en route from a resupply ship to a French research station when it went down in bad weather Thursday, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported.

An Australian rescue helicopter found the remains of the researchers late Friday.

A helicopter with a doctor on board was dispatched from the French base Saturday afternoon and has confirmed there were no survivors.
