PHOENIX (AP) - Police say the 4-year-old daughter of boxer Mike Tyson has died a day after her neck accidentally was caught in a treadmill cord while she was playing at home.
Phoenix police spokesman Andy Hill said Exodus Tyson was pronounced dead in a hospital just before noon on Tuesday. Police have said an investigation showed it was a "tragic accident."
Police say the girl was playing on the treadmill on Monday when her head apparently slipped inside a cord hanging under the console. Exodus' 7-year-old brother found her and alerted his mother.
"Somehow she was playing on this treadmill, and there's a cord that hangs under the console — it's kind of a loop," police Sgt. Andy 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."
Former heavyweight champion Tyson was in Las Vegas at the time of the accident and flew to Phoenix on Monday.
Responding officers and firefighters performed CPR on Exodus as they rushed her to a nearby hospital.
Tyson spokeswoman Cynthia Schwartz said the family had not arranged a funeral yet and would release a statement later.
