A 12-year-old boy has died after falling from apparatus in a play park in Cheshire.
The child fell shortly after 18:00 BST on Friday at the Wharton Recreation Ground off Ledward Street, Winsford, Cheshire Police said.
Emergency services treated him but he died at the scene.
Police said his next of kin had been informed and officers are appealing for anyone who witnessed the “deeply tragic incident” to come forward.
Det Sgt John Rhodes said: “Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of the boy who sadly died at the scene.
“As part of our investigation, we are asking anyone who may have been in or around the Wharton Recreation Ground area at around the time 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.”
