Missing baby ‘buried alive in a dog crate’

Résumé détaillé

Little Koah spent 24 hours buried alive.

A baby was found buried and ‘clinging to life’ after allegedly being taken by his dad.

An urgent search was launched after Koah Sharpe, aged 11 months, went missing from his home in Lexington County, South Carolina.

The tot was last seen with his dad, Michael Comer, 25, whose own mother was taking care of the baby on Monday.

When Comer was left with the baby before another caregiver arrived, the pair had vanished.

Miraculously, the search and rescue teams looking for the baby spotted ‘freshly disturbed dirt’ near Comer’s father’s house.

He was found wrapped in a towel and buried in a dog crate, the county sheriff Jay Koon said.

He said: ‘As they probed it and laid it out and started digging, you could hear little Koah crying.

‘As you imagine, the race was on, everybody’s getting down there trying to get him out.’

The towel is believed to have created an air pocket that helped him survive the ordeal.
