The incident was reported Thursday at a home in the town of Karmi Yosef in central Israel. It happened during a pool party being held for employees of a private company, according to the Times of Israel.

A second person was also dragged into the sinkhole, but managed to climb their way out and suffered some minor injuries, Israel’s Fire and Rescue Authority said.

Search teams spent four hours in a "complex rescue operation" searching for the man, according to the news outlet. GoPro cameras were strapped to the helmets of the rescue team as they were lowered deep underground, the Times reported.Authorities said fears of a secondary collapse made the rescue more complicated.
