Mike Tyson's Daughter Dies

Posted on May 26, 2009

Mike Tyson's daughter critically injured on a treadmill

Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter Exodus has died after an accident involving a treadmill.

Exodus was reportedly found by her 7-year-old brother with her neck caught in a cable attached to the treadmill.

The boy called for his mother in another room and she called 911. The mother also tried to revive the child.

Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Hill tells "Extra," "Somehow, she was playing on this treadmill, and there's a cord that hangs under the console -- it's kind of a loop. Either she slipped or put her head in the loop, but it acted like a noose, and she was obviously unable to get herself off of it."

Emergency personnel performed CPR on Exodus, who was rushed to St. Joseph's Hospital, according to a FOX News report. This morning, Sgt. Hill described her condition as "extremely critical."

Mike Tyson was said to be in Las Vegas at the time of the accident, but has returned to Phoenix.

Reps for Tyson release a statement saying, "The Tyson family would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks for all your prayers and support, and we ask that we be allowed our privacy at this difficult time."

Mike, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. This is to Rick: if you don’t have anything good to say, then don’t say it. God forbid that someone in your family passes away. Always remember this RICK: GOD DON’T LIKE UGLY AND YOU WILL GET YOURS!!

My heart goes out to the whole family this is such a tragedy! And to Rick what a cruel person you are!!!!! He may have a tattoo on his face but that is no excuse to say such cruel things at a time like this!You NEED to take a LONG look in the mirror and find the flaws in yourself before you judge another person…
