An elderly Sri Lankan man was miraculously found alive in the ruins of a building devastated by the killer tsunami two weeks ago, haggard and dehydrated but semi-conscious, local media said on Sunday.At least 156,000 people were killed across Asia by the Dec. 26 earthquake and subsequent tsunami. Well over 100,000 are missing, and there is little hope of finding many of them alive.But a man identified as Sirisena was pulled out alive on Saturday from under mounds of rubble in the Sri Lankan seaside town of Galle, the local Sunday Times newspaper said. After nearly two weeks trapped in the ruins of what was once a shop, he was suffering from malnutrition and dehydration, a broken arm and early symptoms of pneumonia, it said. He was too bewildered to say how he survived.He has been admitted to the Karapatiya Hospital. CNN reported that he has spoken a few words, telling doctors he has a son and daughter. Doctors had put a cast on his right wrist on Sunday to set a fracture which they say looks to be between several days and a couple of weeks old.
