The Toms River Police Department said 18-year-old Levi Caverly and his 17-year-old sister were using frisbees to dig a 10-foot hole when it collapsed."One is still buried up to the chest. Another one is below the sand," another first responder said. "One is completely submerged under the sand, probably approximately 10 feet," a first responder said.
On Wednesday morning, Levi's father, Todd Caverly, issued a statement remembering his son as a tech nut with a love of music.
