The National Park Service is looking into the death of a teen buried when a sand dune collapsed at North Carolina's Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
Family and friends had been looking for the teen when they found him buried in the hole and called for help, officials said.
It appeared that portions of an adjacent sand dune collapsed into the hole, which was dug in a back-dune area behind the primary dune and not visible from the beachfront, according to the agency.
