A missing 11-month-old boy was found buried alive after 24 hours, according to a report by ABC News, which attributed the account to the sheriff. The child, Koah Sharpe, was found Tuesday afternoon "clinging to life," the outlet reported, after what is believed to have been 24 hours buried, according to authorities.

ABC News reported that the child was missing and had been taken by his father. The outlet's headline identified the father as the person who took the boy. The summary did not say when the boy was taken or when he was reported missing.

The summary did not specify where the child was buried, who located him, or whether any charges have been filed. Those questions are not answered in the material available for this report, which rests on a single account from ABC News.

The 24-hour estimate is also described as a belief. According to authorities as summarized by ABC News, the child is believed to have been buried for that length of time, and the summary does not explain how that estimate was reached.

The headline describes the boy as 11 months old, and the summary identifies him as Koah Sharpe. Both details are taken from ABC News and are reported here as the outlet presented them.

The Continental Gazette has not independently verified these details, and the account above is drawn from the ABC News summary alone.
