Meanwhile, thirteen-year-old Ian Spendlove passed away from his injuries a day after a dune he was digging in crumpled and buried him at Utah's Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. Ian had been digging a tunnel into the dune when it collapsed on him Saturday evening, park rangers conveyed. A family member precautioned authorities, and rangers reached the scene to dig the boy out from what they expressed was about 6-and-a-half feet of sand.
He was recovered and transported to a local hospital, where he later died. First responders arrived at Toms River, New Jersey, near the entrance to Seaview Road, briefly after 4 p.m. on Tuesday.
They successfully retrieved the 17-year-old girl and treated her at the scene. Her brother's body was pulled out of the sand around 6:45 p.m. The siblings had spent the afternoon with their family at the Ocean Beach III. Toms River Mayor Maurice Hill Jr. conveyed the hole had been dug out with Frisbees. Aerial footage captured by Fox 5 New York displays a team of rescuers working around a large hole on the New Jersey beach on Tuesday evening.

A red screen was put up to cover the hole from the public as dozens of people working at the scene. A yellow excavator was shown parked next to the hole, while a fire service car was also pulled up a tad further away.
The area had been cordoned off with yellow tape, and the footage seemed to have been captured while work at the area was being wrapped up. It showed firefighters and other first responders removing wooden planks up from the pit, around which a variety of equipment was scattered over the ground. Ian Spendlove of Utah was originally rescued by rangers and Kane County Sheriff's deputies.

Saturday's dune collapse remains under investigation. Rangers expressed it happened quickly and they did not know how long the boy was under. Chavez offered condolences to Spendlove´s family and urged visitors to be safe, wear helmets or life jackets, and alert others of recreation plans when in state parks. “Always recreate with a buddy or someone who can help you or go and get help. And always let someone away from the area know where you´re going and what your plan is,” he stated.
