Police say the four-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 Tuesday.
Police have said an investigation showed it was a “tragic accident.”
Police say the girl was playing on the treadmill Monday when her head apparently slipped inside a cord hanging under the console.
Exodus’ seven-year-old brother found her and alerted his mother.
Former heavyweight champion Tyson was in Las Vegas at the time of the accident and flew to Phoenix on Monday.
