Kellogg, MN (KROC-AM News) - The Wabasha County teenager who was found buried in a sand hole last week has died.
An obituary posted by the Schad and Zabel Funeral Homes indicates that 14-year-old Hunter Wayne Flaxbeard died last Thursday at St. Mary's Hospital. Two days earlier, the Wabasha County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call from a citizen reporting that a 14-year-old boy was stuck in a sand hole and covered with sand in a rural area about 2 miles south of Kellogg.
The responding deputies began performing life-saving measures on the teenager before he was airlifted to St. Marys Hospital in critical condition. His death is being blamed on accidental asphyxiation.
