South Carolina Infant Rescued After Being Buried Alive In Dog Crate

An 11-month-old South Carolina boy was rescued after being buried alive in a dog crate for nearly 24 hours. Koah Sharp disappeared Monday in Lexington County while his grandmother ran errands, leaving him in his father’s care. After searching with nearly 100 first responders, authorities found freshly disturbed soil in nearby woods and began digging. “He was screaming at the top of his lungs, which is a good thing in the baby world,” said Sheriff Jay Koon. A towel wrapped around the crate likely created a life-saving air pocket. Koah’s father, Michael Comer, 25, was arrested and held without bond. Comer had previously pleaded guilty to domestic violence charges in October. Koah was transported to a hospital in unknown condition. Story URL
