Authorities in coastal North Carolina are investigating the death of a teenager who became trapped in a hole that was dug in the sand, the latest fatality from the scourge of sand holes that continues to claim young people's lives.
The 17-year-old male died Saturday afternoon in the small resort town of Frisco, which sits along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore on the Outer Banks, the National Park Service said in a statement.
"We urge visitors not to dig deep holes on the beach due to the danger they present to beachgoers and emergency response staff," the park service said in a statement on Saturday. In late March, a 14-year-old boy died after being buried in a sand hole in a rural area of Minnesota. Wabasha County Sheriff Rodney Bartsh said Hunter Flaxbeard's death has been ruled an accidental suffocation.
In 2014, a Fredericksburg, Virginia, man died at Salvo, on North Carolina's Outer Banks, when sand collapsed on top of him after authorities said he was tunnelling between two holes.
