Most likely she got tangled up in the "key" mechanism. I know on my treadmill it can hang pretty low when not inserted into the machine. Makes it unable to move the tread, but I guess you could get tangled in it.

Wait was someone trying to kill here?

"Police said that based on the initial investigation, including information from the responding officers, interviews with the mother and son, and a preliminary examination of the scene, it appears that this was "a tragic accident."


Officials from the Phoenix Fire Department told KNXV-TV that the woman who called 911, just after 10:30 a.m. today, initially reported an electrocution from a treadmill cord, but then changed her story to say that there had been a hanging."

Damn, that's nasty. My thoughts are with the family. He was shown on Saturday night at the UFC event. Part of me think he's misunderstood and they turned him into a character.

i dont understand how you can hang yourself with that cord. it's only held in place by a weak magnet.

Wow! Hope she pulls through. Mike's been through a lot in his life. He seemed to be reaching a better place mentally. Hope something like this doesn't throw him back over the edge again. PEACE.

On an exercise machine it's held in place by thick plastic and three long, sturdy prongs. This is super awful and my heart goes out to them. A relative of mine lost a toddler to something similar with a pullcord on some blinds. You just can't proof everything and it only takes a minute or two.

Hope she pulls through.
 
Awful... Hope she makes it. I feel sorry for her 7 year old brother too. He is just a little kid but I bet he blames himself right now... :(

Yay more celebrities we feel sorry for because their tragedies hit the news!

Boohoo, I am sorry for what happened to them but I'm too jaded to care.

Just another poor innocent in a world full of em.

people making "hanging" jokes this is a little 4 year old girl, just not cool. Its a baby for goodness sake.
 
I got a 3 year old brother. This story just, I dunno. When I hear about a prostitute's head getting cut off, I don't care and can't relate, but when it's a little kid, it just makes me sick to my stomach, makes me want to never let my brother out of my sight, you know? And it's tough, because to an extent you have to resist that impulse if you want to raise a free-thinking, independent kid.

Very sad.

There are bad puns and then there is bullshit... I think you know which ones those two were
 
Disgusted at the inappropriate jokes about a 4 year old kid who is in a horrible situation and might possibly not survive. Goddamit people, just because you CAN make a joke doesnt mean you SHOULD.

Just so you guys know, this is who we are talking about. Exodus is Tyson's youngest child, held in this photo by his other daughter Rayna.

Carry on.

The fact that you came into a tread you dont care for shows that you're just trolling. GTFO!

Anways, hope the little one makes it through.
 
I am gonna assume she got wrapped in the treadmill safety cord and wasnt heavy enough to dislodge the key/sensor. My parents have a treadmill where the key is attached via a string that allows the treadmill to activate. They had a problem with one of their hounds jumping and grabbing it and then it getting tangled in their collar... I hope the best for their family =(

Some very sad news to report. According to a report published by Pallaxo, Mike Tyson's 4 year old daughter, Exodus Tyson, who was admitted to Hospital yesterday, has passed away.

An employee of St. Joseph's Hospital who wished to remain anonymous, told the publication that Tyson's daughter died shortly after Midnight, Tuesday Morning.

According to the report by Pallaxo, the Doctors at St. Joseph's Hospital attempted to resuscitate, but after 10 minutes the child was declared dead.

Earlier reports stated that on Monday Exodus was playing on a treadmill when she got tangled in a cord that was attached to the console. She was found by her brother unconscious. The child's mother called emergency services and attempted CPR before Exodus was rushed to the hospital. She was put on life support and fell into a deep coma.

Tyson who was in Las Vegas at the time of the tragic accident, rushed by plane to get to Phoenix to be with his daughter.

This is goddamn awful. A little girl who barely started living, pass away in an accident so random. Shit, it ruined my day. I mean, you are 4 and you're a playing on a treadmill. Nothing bad is supposed to happen to you and she died.

RIP little one.

Totally agree - lots of inappropriate jokes.

But the first thing I see in the picture is Tyson's big belly. He's finally become a true American.

Hope she gets through this and it'll probably be the last time she ever goes near a treadmill!

I saw the new documentary 'Tyson' a few weeks ago, and in that he looks slimmer., so I'd imagine that his daughter looks a little bit older now. I really feel for him because he's been through a lot of bs in his life. ;_;

I feel sad because Mike looks like he's finally found peace and then this happens, I hope everything turns out ok for his daughter.
