Malaysian authorities have recovered the remains of all five people aboard a "flying doctor" service helicopter that crashed on Borneo island, officials said Wednesday. The crash occurred Tuesday near the Long Lellang airstrip in northern Sarawak, Malaysia's largest state, a region of vast rural and remote areas where healthcare access is limited. The helicopter was operated as part of a medical transport service serving these isolated communities. The cause of the crash was not immediately stated in the report.
