Exodus Tyson Dies: Mike Tyson Daughter Taken Off Life Support

***UPDATE*** From AP:

The 4-year-old daughter of former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson died Tuesday, a day after what police called a "tragic accident" in her home. Phoenix police spokesman Andy Hill said Exodus Tyson was pronounced dead in a hospital just before noon.

Police said the girl was playing on a treadmill Monday in her central Phoenix home when her head apparently slipped inside a cord hanging under the console.

Exodus' 7-year-old brother found her and alerted his mother. Responding officers and firefighters performed CPR on Exodus as they took her to the hospital, where she had been listed in critical condition since Monday.

Tyson was in Las Vegas at the time of the accident and flew to Phoenix on Monday.

Cynthia Schwartz, a spokeswoman for Tyson, said the family would release a statement Tuesday evening. They had not yet made any funeral arrangements, she said.

Mike,
While there is nothing I can say to assuage your sorrow over Exodus's premature death, never the less I feel that I must offer my sincere condolences to you and your family.

Heart felt condolences to the champ and his family. Really a sad story.

I live in Phoenix, where the tragedy occurred. Local and national media have not named the mother. Odd.

Some of you could've kept your personal feelings about the man to yourself. Firstly, you wouldn't say it to his face even if he was collecting Social Security and secondly, you don't come to a wake, funeral, or anything of the such prefacing your comments with, "I don't like you dude, but. . . . ".

Stay classy, people.

I was never a fan of Mike Tyson, but the death of his innocent little daughter is tragically too much for him or anyone else to cope with, my condolences.
