[schumi]

Bloemfontein - A missing Free State farmer has been found. Louis Strydom (38), who went missing on November 16 was rescued after he was found trapped under a rock near the farm Omdraai in Bethlehem. He had been there for about five days.

Isoldé Laesecke, chair of AfriForum’s Bethlehem branch, and Ruan Steinhobel of the South African Support Initiative, a non-profit that focusses on locating missing persons, received a lead on Tuesday afternoon. They combed the area where Strydom was last seen and first located his vehicle, before following his footprints. They eventually found Strydom trapped under a rock.

Laesecke said they initially thought Strydom was already dead, but upon closer inspection they could however see that he was alive and immediately called in emergency services.

How did he get under the rock?

Or what was he doing to cause it to fall on him?

No way that fell on him. He would've been flatter than my attempts at humour. I'd go with he crawled underneath it for some reason and got stuck.
