Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter Exodus is on life support after an accident involving home exercise equipment, the Associated Press reports.

In what police in Phoenix call a tragic accident Monday morning at Tyson's home there, the girl was reportedly found by her 7-year-old brother with her neck caught in a cable attached to a treadmill.

The boy alerted the girl's mother in another room. Her mother called 911 and tried to revive her, according to the AP. Mike Tyson was said to be in Las Vegas at the time of the accident, but has returned home.

Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Hill told FOX News, “Somehow she was playing on this treadmill, and there’s a cord that hangs under the console – it’s kind of a loop. 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.”

Emergency personnel performed CPR on Exodus, who was rushed to St. Joseph’s Hospital where she remains on life support, according to the Fox News report. Sgt. Hill described her condition as "extremely critical."

What a sad and tragic story. My thoughts and prayers are with the Tyson family at this time.

Trying to imagine this cord..

Is this the cord that plugs into the wall?

This is terrible news, but I have to wonder why a parent would leave a 7 year old to watch a four year old. It could have been so easily prevented.

^I agree it could have been prevented. I feel for the little girl.

Boxing champ Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter Exodus died Tuesday in a Phoenix hospital after accidentally getting her neck wrapped in a cord from an exercise machine at home, police say.

"Our sympathies go out to the family," says Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Hill.

Exodus's mother, whose name has not been released, was cleaning in another part of the house when she sent her 7-year-old son to the playroom to check on his sister. The boy found Exodus tangled in a cord dangling from a treadmill. He called for his mother, who dialed 911 and administered CPR.

The child, who had been on life support, was pronounced dead at 11:45 a.m. at St. Joseph Hospital and Medical Center, Hill says. Her father, who had been in Las Vegas at the time of the accident, returned to Arizona and was seen entering the hospital in the morning.

Before her death was announced, Tyson released a statement, saying, "The Tyson family would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks for all your prayers and support, and we ask that we be allowed our privacy at this difficult time."

That is so sad. :(

I hate to say this again, but this was such a sensless death. Not only do I feel for the little girl but also her brother. I wonder how he's dealing with this, or if he even understands what's going on. I hope he doesn't feel responsible for this later in life.

Heartbreaking. Totally preventable. I'll say it. Leaving your two children in a room together is fine, but not in that kind of a room. That equipment is dangerous to adults who don't know how to use it, never mind a four year baby. So so sad.

I am worried for that little girl. Hope she will get well soon.
