He was then rushed to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Deputy Police Chief Sean Riley told WBZ-TV that incidents like this one are "traumatic" and happen too often.
"A lot of us have kids this age. So you pull someone who could be your kid out of the water and do CPR on them, and it’s unsuccessful, it’s troubling,” Riley said.
The Department of Public Works plans to remove the rope swing on Thursday to prevent future incidents.
