A young girl died when a hole she was digging collapsed and buried
both her and her brother on a beach.

The pair had been digging hole five or six feet deep on a south
Florida beach on Tuesday, February 20, when the sand gave way and
covered them both.

Emergency responders found the boy, eight, buried up to his chest in
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea around 3pm, according to Sandra King,
spokesperson for Pompano Beach Fire Rescue.

The seven-year-old girl was trapped beneath him. It is not known how
long they had been buried, according to Ms King.

The girl has been identified as Sloan Mattingly, and her brother is
Maddox Mattingly, according to the Broward Sheriffs Office.

Rescue desperately dug the children out with shovels, using support
boards to stop more sand from falling in.

A witness told Local 10 News: You saw grown men digging with shovels
and buckets and nobody could find her.

I guess when the wall caved in she may have been laying flat and so
maybe it just kind of pancaked her.
