A 25-year-old man who suffers from depression was found at the bottom of deep well after having spent two days 30-feet below the ground. Video from Fox Houston describes the rescue:
Kevin Gonterman is lucky to be alive. Rescuers said the temperature at the bottom of the hole was 10 to 15 degrees cooler than above ground, likely to be the only reason why Kevin was able survive. The man suffered multiple snake bites and was scared and delusional when found. He is listed in stable condition at a Houston hospital.
It is not clear at this time how Gonterman ended up in the hole.

Posted on July 27, 2011 at 11:11amNow this is what I call a snakepit, did they say what kind of snakes bit the man, makes a difference whether they were poisonous snakes, or Garter snakes. Can you imagine the psychological impact of being trapped with snakes!

Posted on July 27, 2011 at 3:54amJust noticed the Fox26 video link. Equisearch found him after his wife reported him missing.
I hope he has gained a new perspective on life from this experience. Facing up to and going throught whatever crap in LIFE is better than being DEAD in the bottom of a dark cold hole.
