Man dies after getting sucked into sinkhole in a swimming pool in Israel

Israeli police said Friday they placed a couple under house arrest, a day after a man attending a party at their villa was sucked into a sinkhole that formed at the bottom of their swimming pool and died.

The man and woman, both in their sixties, are suspected of causing death by negligence, police said. They were arrested on Thursday night and a court decided to release them Friday under "restrictive conditions of house arrest" for five days.

The incident happened during a private party the couple hosted at their house in the town of Karmi Yosef, 25 miles southeast of the city of Tel Aviv.
