A TEENAGE boy has been arrested following the death of a 12-year-old who died after falling from a playground roundabout.
Youngster Logan Carter suffered fatal injuries when he was flung off the play equipment in Winsford, Cheshire, on Friday.

Floral tributes and a Liverpool shirt were laid at the scene in memory of the youngster
Emergency crews were scrambled to the Wharton Recreation Ground at 6pm after Logan was injured.
Sadly, the Liverpool fan – nicknamed Bear by his family – was pronounced dead at the scene.
It is thought he was with pals at the time of the tragedy and the wheel of an electric bike was used to spin the roundabout.
Cheshire Police confirmed a 13-year-old boy has now been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
The teen was later released under investigation.
Logan’s family have since released a heartbroken tribute to their “blue-eyed boy”.
It read: “Logan was a much-loved son, brother, grandson, great grandson, cousin and friend to many.
“He had an infectious personality and a beautiful smile. He made every day worth living.
“Everyone wanted to be where Logan was. He was a little boy who was so full of life and wanted to make everyone laugh.
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 whilst we come to terms with the untimely loss of our blue eyed boy.”
Flowers could be seen on the roundabout which was covered in police “do not cross” tape as floral bouquets were left under a nearby tree.
Among the tributes left at the scene was one which read: “You will always be in our hearts forever. Love Aunty Jude & Uncle Bri.”
Another read: “Fly high handsome boy. Sleep tight. Loving you always and forever. Aunty Del & Uncle Dave.”
A Liverpool jersey and balloons were also left at the park as tributes from locals and family members began pilling up.
And a fundraiser has been set up for the tragic youth with members of the local community donating in Logan’s memory.
The GoFundMe has raised over £14,000, with more than 800 people donating to support his family.
Logan’s dad, Rob Carter, had previously told other parents to “hold your kids close and tell them every day how much you love them.”
The grieving father took to social media to pay tribute to his son in a string of touching posts.
Rob said: “When I woke up on Friday my little mate I didn’t think that would be the last time I get to see you.
“My mate, my heart has been ripped in two I will never forget you my mate sleep tight up there.
“I’ll see you one day at them gates mate love you so much Logan, forever 12.”
Logan was a pupil at Winsford Academy, which posted a touching tribute on its website.
It read: “We are deeply saddened by the recent tragic news involving one of our students.
“Our thoughts are with the family and all those affected at this incredibly difficult time.
“As a school community, we will be offering support to students, staff, and families.”
Cheshire Police had previously called on witnesses to contact them as they investigated the tragedy.
Det Sgt John Rhodes, said: “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.”
