Teenager Identified in Six Flags Decapitation Death

We now know the name of the teenager who was decapitated by a roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia yesterday.

Cobb County police say it appears 17-year-old Asia Leeshawn Ferguson from Springfield, South Carolina, died instantly when he was hit by the Batman ride.

Ferguson was part of a church group visiting from out of state.

Park spokeswoman Hela Sheth said in a statement the teen scaled two six-foot fences that were clearly marked with signs that read "Danger" and "Do Not Enter."

No one else was injured in the incident.
