When deputies arrived, they knew something was wrong and got creative using a form of morse code to communicate with the man inside. It was not an easy task getting into the house with all the windows and doors having security bars on them. Deputies worked quickly to get inside and discovered the male on the ground in the front living room. Fire was able to get the man to a local hospital.\u00a0The man told deputies he had been on the ground for four days waiting for someone to find him. Outstanding work to all involved.
