A heartbreaking tragedy has shaken a small town in England after 12-year-old Logan Carter died in a freak playground accident — and police have now arrested a teenager in connection with his death.
The incident happened on Friday, August 29, at Wharton Recreation Ground in Winsford, Cheshire. According to police, Logan suffered fatal injuries after falling from playground equipment. Investigators are now exploring whether an e-bike was used to dangerously propel a children’s merry-go-round at the park just before the fall.
Cheshire Constabulary confirmed that a 13-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He has since been released under investigation as authorities continue to gather evidence and interview witnesses.
“Inquiries are ongoing, and officers are exploring a number of lines of enquiry to fully establish the circumstances surrounding this incident,” police said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE. “As part of this, officers are exploring reports that an e-bike was used to propel a children’s roundabout in the park.”
Logan’s devastated family described him as a boy who brought light and laughter to everyone around him. “Logan was a much-loved son, brother, grandson, cousin, and friend to many. He had an infectious personality and a beautiful smile,” the family said in a statement released by police.
“Everyone wanted to be where Logan was. He was full of life and wanted to make everyone laugh,” they continued. “He made every day worth living. Logan was everyone’s therapy person, their calm, and he will be missed more than we can ever put into words. We are taking comfort from the words of support we have received while we try to come to terms with the untimely loss of our blue-eyed boy.”
Logan’s father, Rob Carter, also shared an emotional tribute on Facebook. “When I woke up on Friday, my little mate, I didn’t think that would be the last time I’d get to see you,” he wrote. “My heart has been ripped in two.”
A GoFundMe campaign launched to support Logan’s family has raised more than $21,000 as of September 2.
