The sheriff’s office said the boy was playing on the swing with other children at a family gathering. The swing was held by a chain to an A-frame structure.
While the children were playing on the swing, the A-frame started to tip over. The boy tried to get out of the way but was hit in the head by the corner of the structure.
Family members administered CPR to try and save the boy, but the child died after the accident.
