A British tourist who spent over three hours trapped in an eight-foot sand hole said he believed he was going to die before beachgoers rescued him.
The incident happened on Copacabana Beach in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on 22nd April, but only emerged in social media on 16th May.
Jensen WJJ Sturgeon, from England, was found buried waist-deep in a hole he had dug himself when it collapsed around him.
He had reportedly decided to dig as deep as he could and struck water, creating a quicksand-like trap that caused his legs to sink and become stuck.
