Father of South Carolina infant who survived being buried alive charged with attempted murder

Authorities say the boy was in the care of Michael Comer's mother, but she left him with her son to run an errand

An 11-month-old South Carolina boy who authorities say was buried alive in a dog crate by his father was found by rescuers after about 24 hours, crying and covered in dirt, his grandfather said about the dramatic rescue.

But soon after, little Koah Sharp stopped crying, John Comer told the Associated Press on Wednesday night as he recalled the events that played out the day before in the woods on his neighbor's property. The infant was put on the back of a truck and sat up, Comer said.
