they did what?! Celeb News & GossipBoxing champ Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter Exodus died Tuesday in a Phoenix hospital after accidentally getting her neck wrapped in a cord from an exercise machine at home, police say.
"Our sympathies go out to the family," says Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Hill.
Exodus's mother, whose name has not been released, was cleaning in another part of the house when she sent her 7-year-old son to the playroom to check on his sister. The boy found Exodus tangled in a cord dangling from a treadmill. He called for his mother, who dialed 911 and administered CPR.
The child, who had been on life support, was pronounced dead at 11:45 a.m. at St. Joseph Hospital and Medical Center, Hill says. Her father, who had been in Las Vegas at the time of the accident, returned to Arizona and was seen entering the hospital in the morning.
Before her death was announced, Tyson released 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."
