A family of four has died in Canada after after their house was swallowed by sinkhole following a landslide.
The landslide, in Saint-Jude, Quebec, created a sinkhole four times the size of a football field and prompted the evacuation of several houses in the town which is located 31 miles northeast of Montreal.
From the air, all that was visible of the Prefontaine home was a bright green roof, after the ground around it collapsed.
Rescue crews used helicopters, heavy machinery and a canine team to search for the missing family, finally rescuing one survivor, the family's golden retriever, Foxy, on Tuesday.
At the end of an almost 24-hour search, the bodies of the Prefontaine family, Richard Prefontaine, his wife and their two daughters aged 9 and 11, were found in their destroyed basement where officials believe the family was watching a hockey game, minutes before the landslide struck the region.
