The youngest survivor of the Oso mudslide is now out of the hospital.
Duke Suddarth, 6 months old, was released from Seattle Children’s Hospital on Wednesday.
Duke was first taken to Harborview Medical Center after he and his mother were rescued from the slide. He was transferred to Seattle Children’s on April 2.
Duke was with his mom, Amanda, watching videos in their home when the wall of mud came crashing through. She also survived, and recently gave a first-hand account of the slide.
The mudslide death toll reached 36 on Wednesday and 10 people are still missing.
