The boy was reported missing on Monday. On Tuesday, he was found alive underground in a dog crate wrapped in a towel.
“That probably gave him enough air, thank God, to survive. We estimate he spent the last 24 hours underground,” Police Chief Bryan Koon said, according to NBC News.
Police suspect the child's father buried the crate with the child inside. The father was arrested late Monday in Lexington County on suspicion of burglary after being found in an outbuilding.
The boy was later found buried in a wooded area near his grandfather's house.
