Thoughts and prayers go out to Mike Tyson and his family today. Over the weekend, his little baby girl was in a freak accident when she became tangled in a treadmill cord and was found by her little brother choking to death.

Fox News Reports:

Mike Tyson’s 4-year-old daughter was taken off life support and pronounced dead at 11:45 a.m. Tuesday, one day after she was discovered hanging from a treadmill cable in her family’s Phoenix home, police said.

Exodus Tyson’s 7-year-old brother found her Monday with her neck in a cord dangling from the exercise machine, police Sgt. Andy Hill said.

“There are no words to describe the tragic loss of our beloved Exodus,” the family said in a statement. “We ask you now to please respect our need at this very difficult time for privacy to grieve and try to help each other heal.”

“Our sympathies go out to the family,” Hill said Tuesday.

“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.”

Exodus’s mother took her daughter out of the cable, called 911 and attempted to revive her.

Responding officers and firefighters performed CPR on the little girl. She was rushed to nearby St. Joe’s Hospital after she was found around 10:30 a.m. local time, MyFOXPhoenix.com reported.

Hill said former heavyweight champion Tyson, 42, had been in Las Vegas but flew to Phoenix immediately after learning of the accident.
