So sad about Mike Tyson

Those of you with little kids, don't let this happen to your kid. Go check the treadmill right now.

PHOENIX, Arizona (AFP) – Former heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson's four-year-old daughter has died, a day after accidentally catching her neck in a cord on a treadmill at her home, according to police.
"I was just advised by investigators that Exodus Tyson was pronounced deceased at 11:45 am today at the hospital," Phoenix police spokesman Andy Hill said. "Our sympathies go out to the family."
Exodus Tyson had been hospitalized on life support since Monday, when she was found with her neck wrapped in the cable of the exercise machine by her seven-year-old brother.
The boy summoned his 34-year-old mother from another room, and the woman freed the girl, called an ambulance and tried to revive her.
Tyson, who doesn't live in the Phoenix house, arrived Monday afternoon from Las Vegas and was filmed by television news cameras entering the hospital where Exodus was being treated.
"We are grateful for the tremendous outpouring of love and prayers from all over the world," the family said in a statement.
"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."
Hill said Monday that the police investigation of the scene indicated a "tragic accident."
"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."
Tyson, 42, had been in the news this month with the US release of the film "Tyson", a documentary directed by James Toback that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last year.
It offers an engrossing portrayal of the turbulent life of Tyson, from his humble beginnings on the mean streets of Brooklyn to his phenomenal rise as the youngest heavyweight world champion in history, through his epic fall marked by addiction, humiliation in the ring and a rape conviction.
