A man is still missing after being swallowed up by a sinkhole while lying in bed in his Seffner home, in the Tampa area, Florida.

As I previously reported, he vanished as the hole-in-the-ground opened up underneath the home he shared with several other family members.

His brother jumped in to save him and nearly fell in himself, and has now OK-ed for the home to be demolished.

As you can see in the video posted above, works to tear down the building are ongoing. Jeremy Bush, who lost his brother Jeff, now just wants closure, according to his statement to CBS News.

"I knew it. I just didn't want to believe it. I wanted them to get him out. [...] I'm so sorry they can't get him out of the hole and that's the last place he's going to be," he says.

"I lost my brother. I lost everything I own. I worked hard for everything I had," he tells WTSP.
