- His father faces attempted murder and other charges.
- The child is expected to make a full recovery.

## Summary

Michael Comer, 25, has been charged with attempted murder and other offences after his 11-month-old son, Koah Sharp, was found buried in a crate in South Carolina. The case matters because the baby survived after being underground for about 24 hours, and is expected to make a full recovery.

Police say Koah was with his grandmother before Comer took him and disappeared. Searchers found freshly disturbed ground near the boy’s grandfather’s home and heard Koah crying as they dug; a towel covering the crate may have left an air pocket. Comer also faces charges of unlawful conduct towards a child, custodial interference and burglary.
