SOUTH CAROLINA: An 11-month-old boy was found alive in South Carolina on Tuesday after he was believed to have been buried for about 24 hours, the Lexington County Sheriff's Department said.
The infant, Koah Sharpe, was found wrapped in a towel in a dog crate, shallowly buried in woods, according to the department.
"Certainly God is good. Just a few moments ago, we found little Koah, 11 months old, buried alive, clinging to life, crying — the most joyful sound you ever heard of a crying baby," Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said during a news conference.
Koon said the infant's father, Michael Comer, was arrested on Monday night on burglary and resisting arrest. The department is working with the solicitor's office to determine additional charges, he said.
