A buried alive infant survived a day underground. A towel could have saved his life.

An 11-month-old baby, Koah Sharpe, was found alive after being buried for approximately 24 hours in a wooded area near his father's home. Sheriff Jay Koon reported that the baby was discovered wrapped in a towel inside a wire cage, which likely created an air pocket that helped him survive. The child went missing while in the care of his father, Michael Comer, who was arrested on charges of burglary and resisting arrest. The search for Koah involved nearly 100 personnel, and the breakthrough came when investigators noticed disturbed soil. Koah's mother expressed shock at her son's actions, stating she never expected such behavior from him.
