The teen was alive when transported to MetroWest Medical Center in Framingham, said the deputy police chief earlier tonight, but Deputy Chief Riley told SOURCE the teen died at the hospital, after 7 p.m.
Police are not released the teen’s name tonight, as family is still being notified,
The deputy police chief said the Framingham teen, is new to the City, as he was not enrolled in any Framingham school.
Riley said the swing will be taken down tomorrow. It is believed to be on City property. It was not installed by the City. Swings have been erected and removed in that wooden area adjacent to the beach for decades.
“:As quickly as they (rope swings) come down, teens put another one up,” said Deputy Police Chief Riley.
