Another sinkhole opened Wednesday in the exact location where one swallowed a man as he slept in his bed more than two years ago, Florida emergency responders said.

Ronnie Rivera of Hillsborough County Fire Rescue said Wednesday morning that the hole opened up again in Seffner, which is east of Tampa.
On February 28, 2013, Jeffrey Bush, 37, was killed when a large sinkhole opened up beneath his bedroom at 240 Faithway Drive.
The body of Jeff Bush was never recovered and the house was torn down.
Crystal Pruitt, a Hillsborough code enforcement spokeswoman, said the county agency dispatched a rapid response team to the scene.
This is a developing story. Bush’s brother, Jeremy, jumped into the hole to try to help, but he had to be rescued himself by a sheriff’s deputy.

Jeremy Bush tried to pull the victim from the hole, but he could not get Jeff out. The lot remains empty and there is a makeshift memorial at the scene.
