BOY, 5, DIES AFTER HIS HEAD BECOMES STUCK IN REVOLVING RESTAURANT

• A family’s outing to a landmark revolving restaurant turned to tragedy in Atlanta on Friday when a five-year-old boy’s head became caught between a table and the revolving wall.

Charlie Holt was visiting the Sun Dial restaurant atop the Westin Peachtree Plaza hotel with his parents, when it happened, Atlanta police told the Atlanta JournalConstitution. The family had been at a window seat, but the boy wandered away from the table, according to Officer S.R. Brown.

The boy became caught between a wall and a table as the dining area rotated shortly after 3 p.m., Brown said. The rotating floor shut off automatically when the boy became stuck.

“The Westin’s security staff and employees were able to dislodge the child,” Brown told the Journal-Constitution. But he later died of his injuries at the hospital.
