South Carolina father charged after baby found buried alive
What's new: Authorities added attempted murder and child-endangerment charges after the 11-month-old left a hospital and was released to family.
South Carolina authorities charged Michael Comer with attempted murder after rescuers found his 11-month-old son, Koah Sharpe, alive in a shallow grave in Lexington County. Deputies said the baby had likely been buried for about 24 hours in a dog crate wrapped in a towel before searchers heard him crying and dug him out near Comer's father's house. Comer, 25, had been arrested earlier on burglary and resisting arrest charges after the child disappeared Monday. The sheriff's office later added attempted murder, unlawful conduct toward a child and custodial interference charges. Koah was taken to a hospital and then released to family members, with authorities saying he is expected to recover.
