A rep for the Phoenix Police Department has just released the following statement regarding Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter:
I was just advised by investigators that Exodus Tyson was pronounced deceased at 11:45 AM today at the hospital. Our sympathies go out to the family.
Paramedics were called to Tyson's Phoenix home at around 10:30 Monday morning when his 7-year-old son found the young girl hanging from a treadmill by its power cable.
Tyson's reps have no comment at this time.
I join in prayer for the Tyson family.
What can one say at such a time? No words are ever adequate.
God be with the Tyson's, no man should ever bury his child.
This one hurts.
VERY SAD. I am so very sorry for the Tyson family.
Today my friend’s little daughter (8) was playing on a treadmill. They had not heard this story. The little girl fell and had to be rushed to the ER — her foot was split open down to the bone. She needed 8 stitches and 15 shots. She texted me photos; the wound is GHASTLY. The doctor told my friend how lucky she is and related the Exodus Tyson story.
I am thinking treadmills should be made off limits to kids in your homes. My son was also injured from falling while playing running on one at 11 - he fell onto the fast-moving treadmill and skinned his knee quite deeply.
BTTT
Prayers for her, for her family, and friends.
Sad. RIP.
Prayers for this family; their daughter is in God’s hands.
Prayers for Iron Mike and family. May you know the peace of Christ.
