By Julie Rose PHOENIX – The 4-year-old daughter of legendary boxer Mike Tyson is in critical condition after a family member found her hanging from a cord.
Monday around 10:30 a.m., Phoenix Police and paramedics were called out to Tyson’s home in the 6100 block of 10th Ave in Phoenix on reports of an unresponsive child.
CPR was administered and 4-year-old Exodus Tyson was taken to St. Joe’s Hospital. She’s on life support and in extremely critical condition.
According to police, the victim’s 7-year-old brother discovered the child in distress, and alerted their mother. She found the girl with a cable around her neck, hanging from the treadmill, and immediately called 911.
“Somehow the little girl got something caught across her throat, she became unresponsive, the boy went and got the mother, and the mother came out and found the child,” says Phoenix Police Sgt. Andy Hill.
Phoenix Police are investigating. So far, they believe the incident was accidental.
Neighbors were stunned and saddened to hear of the accident. “It’s just very sad. The mom is very sweet, very doting… they’re just lovely, they ride their little bikes down the street,” says neighbor Heather Brodhurst.
The 4-year-old victim is the daughter of former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, who was out of town this morning but has made his way home and is at the hospital.
Tyson has been living in central Phoenix for about 5 years with his girlfriend and their two children.
That is crazy, I hope she gets better.
