Authorities in South Carolina said an infant was found alive after apparently being buried in a dog crate for about 24 hours, according to CBS News. The network's headline also says the baby's father has been charged with attempted murder, a charge the outlet's summary does not describe further.

The Guardian, citing an Associated Press report, said authorities say an 11-month-old boy was buried alive in a dog crate by his father. Rescuers found the boy after about 24 hours, and his grandfather, describing the rescue, said the child was "crying and covered in dirt." The summary identifies the boy as Koah Sharp.

According to The Guardian's summary, authorities say the boy was in the care of Michael Comer's mother, who left him with her son to run an errand. The summary also says that soon after, the boy stopped crying, but the excerpt breaks off during an account attributed to John Comer.

The two outlets describe the burial differently. CBS News says the infant was apparently buried, while The Guardian reports that authorities say the father buried the boy alive. Both headlines say the father has been charged with attempted murder, but the available text does not describe the charge in further detail or the status of any court case.

Publication timestamps show that CBS News posted its report on November 11, 2026, and The Guardian posted its report on November 12, 2026. The available excerpts name Michael Comer and John Comer but do not state each man's role in the case.
