Teen dies after sand tunnel he was building collapses

An Oklahoma teenager has died two days after a sand tunnel he was digging collapsed on him, according to a new report Saturday.

Travor Brown, 17, was visiting Florida with friends and was spending Wednesday at St. Andrews State Park, according to WJHG-TV in Panama City.

He was digging a tunnel into a sand bank on the beach that measured 20 feet wide and 8 feet deep, when the roof suddenly caved in on him.

Emergency responders quickly dug the teen out, and performed CPR for about 20 minutes before transporting him to a hospital.

He died Friday after being taken off life support.
