Three dead and Brit fighting for his life as deadly illness hits cruise

Three people have died and a British man is fighting for his life after an outbreak of a 'severe respiratory illness' on a cruise ship in the Atlantic. The World Health Organisation confirmed six suspected cases of a hantavirus onboard the MV Hondius, travelling from Ushuaia in Argentina to Cape Verde in Africa. The illness is typically spread by rodents and can cause haemorrhagic fever.
