CREVE COEUR, Mo. (AP) — A 4-year-old boy died after becoming entangled in a net and tube in an indoor play area at a Burger King restaurant.
Police said Ray King's clothing became entangled Sunday in the play equipment, causing him to hang upside down and stop breathing. Paramedics revived the boy, but he died at a hospital.
The child was the son of cashier Delores Dunn, who couldn't find a baby sitter and took her three sons to the restaurant in St. Louis County. They were playing on the equipment while she worked, police said.
