CBS News reported that an infant was found alive after apparently being buried in a dog crate for about 24 hours, according to authorities in South Carolina.
The Guardian, citing a report by the Associated Press, identified the child as an 11-month-old boy named Koah Sharp. The Guardian said authorities allege that his father, Michael Comer, buried him alive in a dog crate, and that Comer has been charged with attempted murder.
According to The Guardian's summary, rescuers found the boy after about 24 hours. His grandfather said the boy was "crying and covered in dirt" when he was found. The summary does not say which agency or team located him.
The Guardian's summary also reports that authorities say the boy was in the care of Michael Comer's mother, but that she left him with her son to run an errand. The summary states that soon after, the boy stopped crying, and it attributes further remarks to John Comer. The text available does not state what he said.
The two reports differ in how firmly they present the account. CBS News's summary describes the burial as apparent, while The Guardian attributes the account of the burial to authorities. Both headlines report that the father faces an attempted murder charge.
Neither the CBS News nor the Guardian summary available for this report states the boy's current condition, the court where charges were filed, or whether Comer has entered a plea. The Guardian's summary names the child as Koah Sharp and the father as Michael Comer, and it does not explain the different surnames.
