Baby Buried Alive Found Crying in Backyard

An 11-month-old boy, Koah Sharp, miraculously survived for 24 hours after being buried alive in Lexington, South Carolina. He was discovered on November 10th, crying and covered in dirt, in his grandfather's backyard. The baby's grandfather, John Comer, expressed immense relief and joy upon learning his grandson was alive, a sentiment that quickly shifted to shock and dismay.

Authorities allege that Koah's father, Michael Comer, intentionally buried his son after placing him in a dog cage and covering him with dirt. Michael Comer is now facing multiple charges, including attempted murder, child neglect, and burglary. The discovery was made possible by the grandfather's home providing a location for the search, where investigators noticed freshly disturbed ground.

Koah Sharp was promptly attended to by EMS and transported to a local hospital. Medical teams confirmed he is expected to make a full recovery and was released shortly after admission. The incident has prompted a call to the National Domestic Violence Hotline for those experiencing similar crises.
