A dad-of-three has died after a sand tunnel collapsed and buried him alive.
The “freak accident” occurred on Saturday in Florida when Lee Goggins was digging a hole at the beach with his family.
The sand tunnel collapsed on the 35-year-old Dallas man leaving him in critical condition.
He has since passed away.
Following the accident, Goggins’ family set up a GoFundMe page to pay for his medical bills.
His sister, Rachel Goggins-Burt, asked donators to keep Lee’s wife Courtney, and their three children – Jace, Colton, and Rylee – in their prayers.
She wrote:
“Our family was just starting off on vacation when we stopped in at the beach in St. Augustine, FL to let the kids burn some energy. Lee was building a tunnel in the sand when it collapsed on him.”
Goggins was in a coma for two days before succumbing to his injuries on Tuesday.
Tributes continue to come in for Lee.
His sister’s GoFundMe page has received almost $40,000 in donations.
