Tyson’s daughter dies after accident, police say
The 4-year-old daughter of boxing legend Mike Tyson died Tuesday, a day after she was injured in a treadmill accident at her home, police in Phoenix, Arizona, said.
Exodus Tyson was prounounced dead at 11:45 a.m. local time Tuesday, said Sgt. Andy Hill, a Phoenix police spokesman. He gave no other details.
The girl was found by her 7-year-old brother on a treadmill in the Phoenix home Monday “with her neck on … a cable” attached to the machine, police said in an earlier statement.
The mother “took her daughter off the cable” and called authorities, and Exodus was taken to a hospital, according to police.
Former world heavyweight champion Tyson traveled from Las Vegas, Nevada, to Phoenix where his daughter was on life support in critical condition on Monday, police said.

That is so sad! I don’t care if Mike Tyson is a complete douche, no one deserves to go thru the pain of loosing a child. How tragic.

That’s so sad, especially for her brother. It must be a terrible feeling to be so young and discover a sibling injured like that.

First of all, a tragic thing, so to all homeowners who have tread mills, and small children tape those cable wires to the consoles with duct tape NOW. A child has “very strange” exploratory ways. Here’s what I did, I found a wire cable under our house, and would swing on it like a monkey on a branch until sparks flew, then I would quit, do you think I told my parents? No. Inquisitive children well why can’t I? Can I do this? A tragedy for sure. Just a freak accident, and love to the Tysons.
