By Agencies in Santiago, Chile | China Daily | Updated: 2016-01-27 08:21

UK adventurer Henry Worsley has died while trying to make history by crossing Antarctica alone on a trip supported by members of the British royal family.

Former army officer Worsley, 55, was just 48 kilometers from the end of his journey when he called for help and was airlifted to a hospital in Chile on Friday suffering from exhaustion and dehydration.

"It is with heartbroken sadness that I let you know that my husband, Henry Worsley, has died following complete organ failure," his wife Joanna said in a statement on Monday.
