A boy who died after an incident at a playground in Cheshire has been named as 12-year-old Logan Carter.
His family has also issued a tribute after he was discovered in Wharton Recreation Ground off Ledward Street, Winsford, Cheshire, at around 6.11pm on Friday, with serious injuries.
It is believed he fell from playground “apparatus”, police said.
He was treated by paramedics but died at the scene.
Logan’s family said the 12-year-old was a “much-loved son, brother, grandson, great grandson, cousin and friend to many” who “had an infectious personality and a beautiful smile”.
“Everyone wanted to be where Logan was. He was a little boy who was so full of life and wanted to make everyone laugh,” his family said in a statement.
“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.”

The family said they were taking “comfort from the words of support we have received” as they grieve Logan’s “untimely loss”.
A fundraiser to help Logan’s parents with funeral costs raised nearly £9,000 in less than 24 hours.
Cheshire Police continues to appeal for anyone with information relating to the incident to come forward. Information can be provided to Cheshire Police through the force’s website or by calling 101, quoting IML-216564.
Detective Sergeant John Rhodes, of the protecting vulnerable people investigations unit at Cheshire Police, asked the public “not to feed into any speculation, particularly on social media, as this remains an ongoing investigation” in a statement on Saturday.
