Boxer Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter is on life support after she was found with her neck on a treadmill cable Monday, police said.

The girl's 7-year-old brother found her on a treadmill with her neck on a cable attached 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 took the girl off the cable, called 911 and tried to revive her.

You got that right. Cus D'Amato/Mike Tyson was like Mickey/Rocky Balboa. A father figure.

Tyson reminded me so much of Joe Frazier when he was 20. That hard to hit bob-and-weave style, with a devastating punch.

Then Don King got hold of him.

I think Tyson was already on the edge of the cliff except that D'Amato was able to keep him from going over, much like Chuck Daly was able to keep Dennis Rodman from going over. Then, along comes someone who wants to exploit a fragile personality, or simply not capable of recognizing the need.

Yeah, too bad for the kid. You can’t take your eyes off of ‘em for a minute. As soon as we had kids that were able to move around, the treadmill and the Aerodyne went into storage. Nine years later we’re a little heavier, and we think they’re mature enough to take the equipment back out again.

Oh, yeah. Fill the pool in with dirt until you’ve gotten ‘em through advanced swimming lessons. It makes a nice garden area till then. When you can trust them, if ever, just excavate. Hey kids! Look what we got. Instant pool, sort of.

This sort of obsessive protectionism won’t help that poor child, but it certainly won’t hurt the ones that are yet to attempt their own extermination. Worth a thought anyway

The same almost happened to my son when he was little. I just happened to go into the bedroom and he was hanging from a little cord on the back of the crib and choking. Thank God I ‘just happened’ to go in there at that time. It gives me chills every time I think of it. I was always careful after that not to have anything hanging from the crib or anywhere else.

"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."

Maybe it's just me, but I'm still confused...

Hope the best for the child.

Yeah, right he and all the other Cons were framed. He was sure a hard hitting fighter. Too bad he was totally out of control. Jus don’t let Mikey hug ya when he’s hungry.

I was actually on a commercial plane flight from Vegas to Cleveland with Mike Tyson once.

Speaking of Tyson... you know the image that's captioned, "That wasn't chicken"? Well that wasn't Tyson.
