A South Carolina infant who authorities say was taken by his father was found alive Tuesday, buried in a dog crate in the woods after apparently spending about 24 hours underground, officials said. Koah Sharpe, an 11-month-old, was discovered buried beneath roughly a foot of dirt with a towel wrapped around the wire crate, Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said. He was rushed to a hospital after the rescue. The boy was “clinging to life, crying,” Koon said at a news conference Tuesday. “It was the most joyful sound you ever heard of a crying baby,” he added. The night before the rescue, the boy’s father, Michael Comer, 25, was arrested on charges of burglary and resisting arrest, Koon said.
