The Consumer Product Safety Commission is investigating the death of the Bentonville student who died when a soccer goal post struck him at Elm Tree Elementary on Wednesday.
It happened around 2:30 in the afternoon on the school playground.
Apparently some other students were leaning against the goal when it -- and they -- toppled over onto nine-year-old Jonathan Nelson, fracturing his skull.
Two school nurses rendered first aid until paramedics could arrive and take him to Northwest Medical Center.
He died from his injuries a short time later.
