Tyson’s daughter dies after freak accident
PHOENIX (Arizona): Former heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson’s four-year-old daughter died on Tuesday, a day after accidentally catching her neck in a cord on a treadmill at her home, police said.
“I was just advised by investigators that Exodus Tyson was pronounced deceased at 11:45am today at the hospital,” Phoenix police spokesman Andy Hill said. “Our sympathies go out to the family.”
Tragic: Mike Tyson with his wife and four-year-old daughter Exodus. Exodus Tyson had been hospitalised on life support since Monday, when she was found with her neck wrapped in the cable of the exercise machine by her seven-year-old brother.
The boy summoned his 34-year-old mother from another room, and the woman freed the girl, called an ambulance and tried to revive her.
Tyson, who doesn’t live in the Phoenix house, arrived on Monday afternoon from Las Vegas and was filmed by television news cameras entering the hospital where Exodus was being treated. — AFP
