Death toll rises to 6

STOCKHOLM, Nov 19 (Reuters) - The death toll from the crash of a Swedish military helicopter rose to six on Wednesday, in the military's worst such accident since 1968.

The combined forces rescue helicopter, with seven on board, crashed at sea off Sweden's west coast on Tuesday night during an exercise.

"Six people are dead and one is injured in hospital," said air force spokesman Colonel Christer Pettersson.

Earlier on Wednesday, the military announced that four people had died, two were missing and one had been injured in the helicopter accident in the northern archipelago of Gothenburg.
