Teen dies after being trapped in sand tunnel on Florida beach for 2 days


Law enforcement officials in Florida say an Oklahoma teenager has died two days after the walls of a hole he dug in the sand collapsed on him. The Bay County Sheriff's Office reports on social media that 17-year-old Travor Brown died at Panama City hospital Friday. The News Herald reports that Brown was visiting the area with friends. On Wednesday, beachgoers told Bay County Sheriff's deputies they'd seen a couple of teens digging in a sand bank at St. Andrews State Park. Later, they noticed a teen's feet sticking out of the sand and started digging him out. . Emergency responders were unable to revive the boy and he was transported to an area hospital in critical condition.  A family friend told KOTV 6 Brown's mother made the decision to take Brown off life support and "let him go home to Jesus."
