Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter was taken off life support and pronounced dead at 11:45 a.m. Tuesday, one day after she was discovered hanging from a treadmill cable in her family's Phoenix home, police said.
Exodus Tyson's 7-year-old brother found her Monday with her neck in a cord dangling from the exercise machine, police Sgt. Andy Hill said, calling it a "tragic accident."
"Our sympathies go out to the family," Hill said Tuesday.
The mother sent the boy to find his little sister, who was playing in a separate room. That's when he saw her in distress and got his mother, police said.
"Somehow she was playing on this treadmill, and there's a cord that hangs under the console — it's kind of a loop," Hill said. "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."
The girl's mother took her daughter out of the cable, called 911 and attempted to revive her.
Responding officers and firefighters performed CPR on the little girl. She was rushed to nearby St. Joe's Hospital after she was found around 10:30 a.m. local time, MyFOXPhoenix.com reported.
