11-Month-Old Baby Found Alive After Being Buried in Dog Crate for Nearly 24 HoursNext

An 11-month-old boy named Koah Sharpe was found alive after being buried inside a dog crate under nearly a foot of soil in South Carolina, following nearly 24 hours underground. The infant was discovered during a large search involving about 100 law enforcement and emergency personnel. Wrapped in a towel that likely provided air, Koah was found crying and taken to hospital, where he is expected to recover. His father, Michael Comer, was arrested and faces investigation for the incident.
