Detectives in Ocean City, Maryland, have confirmed that a woman found dead in the sand Monday was buried alive by a beachcombing tractor.
Ashley O'Connor, of Plano, Texas, was found buried on a beach in Ocean City.
O'Connor got separated from her family on the beach about 2 a.m. Monday morning, according to city officials; early signs show her death may have been an accident, but police say nothing is being ruled out at this point. Police said she was walking on the beach and possibly fell into the hole dug by another beachgoer.
