SEFFNER (REUTERS) - Florida rescue personnel on Saturday searched for a Florida man who disappeared into a sinkhole that swallowed his whole bedroom while he was asleep in his suburban Tampa home.

Mr Jeff Bush, 36, who is presumed dead, was in bed when the other five members of the household who were getting ready for bed on Thursday night heard a loud crash and Mr Jeff screaming.

Jeremy himself had to be rescued from the sinkhole by the first responder to the emergency call, Mr Douglas Duvall of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
