Clinton Rabb , head of the United Methodist office of mission volunteers , and Rev. Jim Gulley , a UMCOR consultant and former missionary . The hotel was destroyed by the earthquake . All three were found in the hotel ruins 55 hours after the quake . Early reports said that Dixon had been saved , but it was later confirmed that he died before being rescued . The others were successfully evacuated from Haiti , but the Rev. Clinton Rabb died on January 17 in a Florida hospital , from injuries sustained during the building collapse
