Fla. man dies in sand trap

A Florida man died after being buried alive by a sand dune that collapsed while he was enjoying the sunrise, authorities said Monday.

The freak accident happened Sunday morning at Rock Beach on Hutchinson Island, where a passerby spotted a pair of human legs sticking out from the sand, the Martin County Sheriff ’s Office said.

Officials determined that Sean Nagel, 37, of Stuart, “died hours earlier from asphyxia as a result of being trapped in the sand.”
