Arnold posted a tribute to his best friend and “partner in crime” Franco Columbu.

The man had become ill after going for a swim in the ocean, according to the media.

Explorers take note, your heading is wrong "40 Doctors in US..." is the correct statement because some Doctors among them might not be US citizens

Thanks.

A team of 40 doctors battle to cut the cyst from Bella-Rose's neck after her birth last week.


Daniel comforts Ms Pilarski as she went into labour knowing that their baby girl would be born with a giant cyst.

Little Bella-Rose clutches her mother's finger after the gruelling surgery.

Bella-Rose's parents are now gearing up to take the child home as she makes a full recovery in hospital.

A baby born with a football-sized cyst on her neck is finally going home after a team of 40 doctors removed the growth from her neck in a gruelling operation.

Parents feared the worst when little Bella-Rose Burress was delivered with a growth that was twice the size of her own head.

But the one-week-old child has made a full recovery after the meticulous operation in Chicago, Illinois, was successful on August 27.

Doctors diagnosed Bella-Rose with cystic hygroma - a collection of fluid-filled sacs - at Ms Pilarski's 20-week scan.

At that time the growth measured 6cm but more than doubled to 13cm by the time she was born.

The vessel reportedly caught fire near Platts Harbor on Santa Cruz Island at around 4am.

Emergency crews received a call just before 3.30am local time on Monday, and rescue efforts involving multiple agencies and personal watercraft were still underway as of 6.30am PST.

The US Coast Guard has been unable to board the boat because it keeps reigniting, Senior Chief Aaron Bemis.

'It keeps being extinguished and re-flashing, possibly due to the amount of fuel on board. Unsure why, but it's consistently being put out and re-flashing,' Bemis said.


Bemis said there were 39 people onboard the boat at the time it caught fire and that 34 passengers got trapped below deck by the blaze while five crew members in the main cabin were able to escape.


The boat called Conception is owned by diving company Truth Aquatics and based in Santa Barbara Harbor, a harbor patrol officer told CNN.

Conception reportedly departed from Santa Barbara Harbor on Friday night for a Labor Day weekend trip to the pinnacles of San Miguel Island and was expected to return Monday evening, according to the Truth Aquatics website.

Dozens of people are feared dead after a 75-foot dive boat burst into flames off the coast of California.

'They are unaccounted for, but it's very foggy out there,' Eliason told CNN.

'We're still holding hope that someone may have swam to shore.

Kevin who was 'not driving' at the time was 'trapped' in the vehicle with two other people, just hours after he posted to social media behind the wheel of the classic car.
