Police say the 4-year-old daughter of boxer Mike Tyson has died a day after her neck accidentally was caught in a treadmill cord while she was playing at home.
Phoenix police spokesman Andy Hill said Exodus Tyson was pronounced dead in a hospital just before noon Tuesday. Police have said an investigation showed it was a “tragic accident.”
Police say the girl was playing on the treadmill Monday when her head apparently slipped inside a cord hanging under the console.
Exodus’ 7-year-old brother found her and alerted his mother. Former heavyweight champion Tyson was in Las Vegas at the time of the accident and flew to Phoenix on Monday.
