Pictured: Schoolboy killed after falling from playground apparatus

This is the first picture of the 12-year-old schoolboy who died after falling from a playground apparatus in a park. 

Logan Carter died in the horror fall at Wharton Recreation Ground near Ledward Street in Winsford on Friday evening.

Last night, his grieving father, Rob Carter posted an emotional tribute to his son alongside a touching picture of him clasping his hand. 

He wrote on Facebook: ‘When I wake up on Friday my little mate I didn’t think that would be the last time I get to see you and my mate my heart has been ripped in two. 

‘I will never forget you my mate sleep tight up the and I see you one day at them gates mate love you so much.’

He later added: ‘All I can say to people is hold your kids and tell them every day how much you love them because you never know when they will be gone.’ 

Paramedics from the North West Ambulance Service had raced to the park and fought to save his life, but Logan was pronounced dead at the scene. 

A fundraiser set up in Logan’s memory has already raised more than £8,000 towards a £13,000 target.

Detective Sergeant John Rhodes, of the protecting vulnerable people investigations unit, said last night in a statement released by Cheshire Police: ‘This was a deeply tragic incident involving a very young victim and our thoughts remain with the family and friends of the boy who sadly died at the scene.

‘As part of our investigation into this incident, we are asking anyone who may have been in or around the Wharton Recreation Ground area just off Ledward Street in Winsford at around the time of the incident and saw anything that may aid us in our enquiries, to please get in touch.

‘At this stage, I would also like to ask the public not to feed into any speculation, particularly on social media, as this remains an ongoing investigation.’
