A homeless man has been found dead after a boulder came loose during a rock slide in Columbus, according to Muscogee County Coroner Buddy Bryan.

Bryan said the homeless man was crushed by a boulder in a tent city near JR Allen Parkway that seems to have landed on the man after a rock slide.

It took EMS 6 hours to recover the body. Rescuers had to chip away at the boulder and use airbags to get the boulder off the man’s body, according to Bryan.

Bryan said the man has not yet been identified.
