MH370 search ship forced back to port

A ship taking part in the search for MH370 in the southern Indian Ocean has been forced to turn back because of a sick crew member.

The Fugro Discovery halted its search for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane on Saturday and began the six-day trip back to Fremantle.

An Australian government spokesperson said the sick crew member was in severe pain and was being treated by a doctor on board the vessel.
