Teenager Buried Alive in Collapsed Sand Dune at North Carolina Beach

A 17-year-old boy from Virginia died after being trapped under several feet of sand in a hole dug into a dune at Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
The hole was in a back-dune area not visible from the beachfront.
Emergency responders were unable to revive the teen despite resuscitation efforts.
Officials warn visitors against digging deep holes in the sand due to the risk of collapse and danger to others.
The incident is under investigation, though similar collapses have led to injuries and deaths at beaches around the country.
