1 crew member dead, 1 missing after freighter sinks in Baltic Sea

STOCKHOLM, Sweden: Rescuers on Thursday called off the search for a crew member missing after a Swedish freighter sank in a Baltic Sea storm, killing one and leaving 12 others hospitalized.

The crew, from the Philippines and Sweden, jumped into the water as the 155-meter-long (508-foot-long) Finnbirch went down between the Swedish islands of Gotland and Oland after capsizing in 5-meter (16-foot) waves, rescuers said.
