Oklahoma teen, 17, dies after his eight-foot- deep sand tunnel collapses on top of him at the beach while on vacation in Florida
Travor Brown, 17, died Friday after being taken off life support
He was critically injured after a sand tunnel he created collapsed on him
The tunnel measured about 20-feet-wide and 8-9-feet-deep
Brown was visiting Florida with friends when the accident occurred
Beachgoers told the Bay County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) they'd seen a couple of teens digging in a sand bank and later noticed a teen's feet sticking out of the sand.
Witnesses and rescue crews started digging Brown out using shovels and wooden panels to keep the sand from collapsing more as they dug, according to the news station.
First responders performed CPR on him before they rushed him to a hospital, where days later his parents made the decision to remove him from life support.
