Florida officials said on Sunday that they will abandon the search for Jeff Bush, who is believed to have died when a sinkhole opened up underneath his Tampa-area home on Thursday night. The house will be demolished, officials said. Bush, 37, was at home when the sinkhole opened up and swallowed him and much of his bedroom. Five family members inside the house—who said they heard a scream and a crash—managed to escape. The whole house could be consumed by the ever-growing sinkhole, officials said. Two neighboring homes, also at risk of being consumed by the sinkhole, will be evacuated as well.
