St Francis County officials say an
eight-year-old boy in Hughes has died in a playground accident. The
boy, Kevin Jamal Woods, was hanged when his shirt caught on a swing
hook.
Investigator Glenn Ramsey says the swings had been removed from
an A-frame that had been damaged. But children would walk along the
beam, and it appears Kevin slipped and his shirt caught on the
hook. Ramsey says no one saw the boy slip. Two playmates found him
and sought help but Kevin was dead when he was brought to a
hospital.
Ramsey says the investigation is continuing into the Saturday
accident.
