A 25-year-old man in China has died after a sinkhole opened up and swallowed him.

Yang Jiabin was walking in Shenzhen near a construction site when he fell into an 8-metre wide, 16-metre deep sinkhole that killed him, after attempts to revive him failed.

Two closed-circuit videos captured his final moments, which then went viral in China on social media and through news websites like Sina.

There were more than 100 sinkholes formed in Beijing over the past two months, where poorly planned development seems to be a major factor.

Earlier this month Florida man Jeff Bush was killed after a sinkhole opened up under his bedroom.
