A CROWDED ferry sank during a tropical storm in Bangladesh, killing at least 42 people and leaving more than 40 missing.
The death toll could rise because some of those missing were feared trapped inside the sunken ferry.

At least 150 people were aboard the MV Chanpur when it was caught in the storm and sank in the Ghorautra River.

More than 60 people reportedly either swam to safety or were rescued by residents.
