27 Days After Haiti Earthquake, CNN Reports Survivor Dug Out Alive From Rubble

An apparent earthquake survivor was dug out of rubble Monday in Haiti, 27 days after Port-au-Prince was demolished, according to media reports.

The 28-year-old man, identified as Evan Muncie, was trapped but not crushed under the wreckage of a market where he sold rice, his family reportedly told staff at a field hospital. Doctors treating him after the rescue “believed the veracity” of his story, broadcaster CNN reported.

The man must have had some access to water but was weak, emaciated and not coherent after his apparent ordeal, doctors told CNN. People described as the man’s family told the broadcaster that they had not seen him since January 12, the day of the earthquake.

If the story is confirmed, the man found Monday would be by far the longest surviving victim dug out from the rubble after Haiti’s earthquake.
