'Miracle Man' survives 7 hours in Tampa heat, fire ants after collapsing in parking lot
TAMPA, Fla. -- Doctors are calling him the Miracle Man.
Clifford Rice, 49, defied the odds after spending seven hours lying unresponsive in a parking lot.
His organs were shutting down after he collapsed, while searching for his car after a concert in Tampa.
“The last thing I remember is the ants coming for me," Rice said.
Fire ants were covering Rice's face.
"A lot of them," Rice said.
Exhausted from the heat, Rice had a seizure in a parking lot across from Raymond James Stadium while trying to find his car after working as an usher at the Tim McGraw concert in September.
Rice tried calling for help, but dropped his cellphone, and ended up stuck under a random vehicle.
