Mike Tyson's Daughter Passes Away

Mike Tyson’s 4-year-old daughter, Exodus, has succumbed to injuries she sustained in a freak accident when she hung herself from a cable attached to a treadmill in the family’s home.

She was found by her 7-year-old brother who told his mom who was in another room when it happened. She called 911 and tried to revive her.

Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Hill told FOX News, “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.” Source

Iron Mike was in Las Vegas during the time of the accident, but flew to Phoenix later Monday to visit his daughter.

"We are grateful for the tremendous outpouring of love and prayers from all over the world," Tyson said in a statement. "There are no words to describe the tragic loss of our beloved Exodus. We ask you now to please respect our need at this very difficult time for privacy to grieve and try to help each other heal." Source

This is absolutely heartbreaking. Condolences go out to the family. I pray they have the strength to survive this tragedy.
