11-Month-Old Baby Found Alive After Being Buried in Dog Crate in South CarolinaPreviousNext

An 11-month-old boy, Koah Sharpe, was found alive after being buried in a dog crate wrapped in a towel for nearly 24 hours in South Carolina. The infant was discovered during a large search involving about 100 responders after he went missing while in his father's care. Authorities believe the towel created an air pocket that helped him survive. Koah was taken to hospital and is expected to recover. His father, Michael Comer, was arrested on burglary charges, with further charges under review.
