    I don’t remember the name but it’s a depiction of a cave explorer that got stuck like that and died. While there was help at the place to try and get him out they couldn’t. If I remember correctly he’s still stuck in that same place.

      From the Wikipedia article:

      Rescuers concluded that it would be too dangerous to attempt to retrieve his body; the landowner and Jones’ family came to an agreement that the cave would be permanently closed, with the body sealed inside, as a memorial to Jones. Explosives were used to collapse the ceiling close to Jones’ body, and the entrance hole was filled with concrete to prevent further access.
