PHOENIX
(Reuters) - The 4-year-old daughter of former heavyweight boxing
champion Mike Tyson has died, a day after being found with cord tied
around her neck in an apparent accident at her home, Phoenix police
said on Tuesday.
"Exodus Tyson was pronounced deceased at 11:45 a.m. today at
the hospital. Our sympathies go out to the family," police spokesman
Andy Hill said in a statement.
Media reports said Exodus Tyson was playing near some exercise
equipment when she accidentally got tangled in a cord or rope hanging
from a treadmill on Monday. She was taken to a Phoenix hospital in
critical condition.
Police said the incident appeared to be an accident.
The girl was home with her mother when the accident occurred
Monday. Tyson was not in Phoenix at the time, but was shown on
television arriving at the hospital later that day.
