Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson’s 4-year-old daughter, Exodus, has died after an accident on an exercise treadmill at home in Phoenix, Ariz. A spokesperson for the Phoenix police released a statement confirming that she was pronounced dead at a hospital at 11:45 a.m. today. Exodus Tyson had been on life support after she was found yesterday by her 7-year-old brother with her neck on a cable. The family has issued a statement: "We are grateful for the tremendous outpouring of love and prayers from all over the world. There are no words to describe the tragic loss of our beloved Exodus. 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."

Very sad.
Sorry Mike for your tragic loss.
May your child rest in piece.
My heart goes out to Mike and his family. So Sad.
Very sad. No one deserves a loss like this.
This makes me so sad. I remember when Mike Tyson first came on the scene- he was a soft spoken, humble, talented young kid. The story about him and his first coach Cus Damato was so sweet- he was like a father to him and he took him under his wing. After he died and Don King got his hooks in him, things went downhill so fast it was tragic. My deepest sympathies to the Tyson family.
So sad for all, to lose your little baby like that. Prayers for the Tyson family (and anyone else who is feeling a loss).
This story makes me very, very sad. My prayers are certainly with you. R.I.P
The loss of a child is something no one should ever have to go trhrough. My prayers are with the family.
Am I the only one on the board wondering why this 4-year old was on a treadmill in the first place?? Really, they are much too small–why wasn’t she being watched? Why did she fall and no one knew until a wandering 7-year old found her?
I know it’s awful and tragic and sad, and yes I’m sorry for the family, but I can’t the only one secretly wondering these things.
Sara, are you fricken kidding me, how dare you point the accusing finger at these poor parents.These was a tragic accident, pure and simple, for God’s sake give these poor souls compassion and love, not your pathetic accusations.
Sara: Seriously? Do you have any children of your own? Have you ever been around a 4 year old? You can’t keep your eye on them 24/7, trust me. I have an autistic child and I do my best to know where he is in the house at all times, but it’s impossible. This was a tragic accident and it’s very insensitive to be asking those kinds of questions at a time like this. My heart goes out to the Tyson family, this is a loss that I can even begin to comprehend.
My prayers are with you and youre family.
ThAt Is VeRy Sa..Prayers to mike tysons family
What a terrible thing to happen to that little girl. RIP.
You are very much alone. This is very tragic. The last thing that is necessary is for people who have no idea what occurred to be pointing the finger and accusing them of neglect. If there were any reason to suspect such a thing, there are involved parties that are more than capable of investigating the situation. All they need from us are our condolences.
One can have compassion and wonder about supervision at the same time. Compassion’s all the family can use at this time because regret and self recrimination will abound without any help from us spectators.
Consider it a warning / reminder to anyone with kids around – it only takes a second for tragedy to occur.
It is hard to be vigilant 24/7 but all the justification/excuses in the world cannot undo a moment’s lapse.
Supervision?? Hello
That poor family. It’s always heartbreaking when such a young child dies.
we never understand when a child is taken we are lifting the family up in prayers
My deepest sympathy to the family may she shine forever
There are 2 things in life that when left to the universe cannot be predicted or chosen. The time of birth and the time of death. Both arriving in their perfect time.
first of all sara you sound so stupid…how can they keep a eye on her 24/7 kids are going to be kids i have a 3 year old daughter and she’s active i can not believe people can be so ignorant my heart goes out to the family who have to mourn on this sad lost….hope they don’t read how ignornt people can be…god bless so sad

You’re an unfeeling dick. Sex must not be much fun for you.
The respectful members of this blog send out heartfelt sympathy and prayers to the Tyson family. I am so upset over the loss of little Exodus. She will forever be in my heart, an angel looking over us all. This is a tragic accident. Let the family go through this horrific process of grieving and healing. It will be a long road. My love is with you always……………….
As the mother of young daughters, I know how quickly they can go from right next to you to half way across the house. Mr. Tyson and his family will be questioning their actions enough, they don’t need any help pointing these things out. They just need our condolences, as do the thousands of other parents who lose children in tragic accidents each year.
Such a tragedy to have the accidental death of a child who was so innocent and loved by all….. She was a treasure, even if I did not know her personally.
So how about the “leisurly” walk from the limo to the hospital entrance by Mr. Tyson….. Where did he think he was going …..To another TV interview…… C’Mon Mike…… This is a daughter who just accidnetly hanged hersself….. So step up the pace so we can see you are grieving…..
what sad sad news, love & healing to wee Exodus parents, may you find spiritual strength in each others sorrow.
Iron Mike my heart aches for you and your family. I’m so proud of you for turning your life & attitude around. Please keep putting one foot in front of the other – your little Angel will walk with you. May God heal your heart.
So horribly sad. I pray that the Tyson family will find strength in each other to get through it. r.i.p exodus tyson. she is now at peace.
well, i feel bad for the mother, and brother, and other family members, but not for mike himself. he doesn’t have the capability to feel any pain, remorse, or any other of the humand feelings we normally share on a day to day basis. rest in peace ex…just know that even though your biolical father didn’t love you, you ARE loved, noneless.
Kristen who are you to judge? You sound like a hater. Everyone deserves a chance to change. No one should have to go through this type of pain.
May the Tyson Family find peace in their hearts knowing their little Angel is with God.
No words can describe how sorry we all feel in your tragic loss and just know that your precious one is in the hands of the Almighty.
May Exodus Rest In Peace.
