On Sunday workers began demolishing the house and clearing debris so engineers can figure out how to fill the crater, which is 20 feet wide and more than 50 feet deep.
On Saturday officials told reporters that "it's really not possible" to recover Jeff Bush's body from the void.

Sinkholes are common in Florida because the state lies on bedrock made of limestone or other carbonate rock that can be eaten away by acidic groundwater.
