Tyson’s daughter put on life support

Boxer Mike Tyson’s 4-year-old daughter is on life support after she was found with her neck caught in a cord of a treadmill machine Monday, police said.

The 7-year-old brother of Exodus Tyson found her next to the exercise machine at their Phoenix home, police Sgt. Andy Hill said, calling it a “tragic accident.”

The boy told the girl’s mother, who was in another room. She called 911 and tried to revive her.

Officers and firefighters performed CPR as they rushed the girl to a hospital, where she was in “extremely critical condition,” Hill 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.”

Hill said former heavyweight champion Tyson had been in Las Vegas but flew to Phoenix immediately after learning of the accident.

Tyson could not immediately be reached for comment, but 42West, a New York public relations firm representing him, released a statement on the family’s behalf.

“The Tyson family would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks for all your prayers and support,” the statement said.

Hill said everything in the investigation pointed to an accident.
