Key Points:
- An 11-month-old baby in Lexington County, South Carolina, survived after being buried alive in a dog crate for approximately 24 hours, according to local authorities.

- Deputies found the baby wrapped in a towel inside a dog crate buried in the woods near Comer’s father’s home; the towel likely created an air pocket that helped the infant survive.
