as posted by the channel

A 17-year-old boy from Virginia visiting North Carolina’s Outer Banks has died after the walls of a hole he was digging on the beach collapsed, burying him in several feet of sand.

The tragic incident unfolded around 2 p.m. at Cape Hatteras National Seashore in Frisco, North Carolina, according to the National Park Service.

The teenager had been visiting from Chesapeake, Virginia, when he became trapped in a sand hole that was dug in a back dune not visible from the beachfront, officials said.

His family went looking for him and found him buried under several feet of sand, “apparently caused by portions of the adjacent dune collapsing into the hole,” according to the statement.

Seashore rangers and family members worked together to dig the boy out of the pit while performing CPR on him.
