17-year-old boy dies after hole he dug in sand collapsed at North Carolina beach

The teenager, a male from Chesapeake, Virginia, was at the Cape Hatteras National Seashore in Frisco, North Carolina. At about 2 p.m., law enforcement responded to a 911 call after the teen’s family and friends had been looking for him.

 

He was found in a hole about a tenth of a mile east from an off-road ramp, buried underneath several feet of sand. The dune collapsed into the hole, which had been “dug in a back-dune area behind the primary dune and not visible from the beachfront,” the NPS said.
