Sports, U.S.: Mike Tyson’s daughter on life support after accident :(

  • A control cord from a treadmill was wrapped around her neck. The boxer’s 7-year-old daughter, Exodus, was discovered by his 4-year old son yesterday at Tyson’s Phoenix home. She was caught wrapped up in the cord of a treadmill machine console. The scene was apparently quite scary and the family is requesting thoughts and prayers. “Those are the things that stay with you in your career,” said Sgt. Andy Hill of the Phoenix P.D. “We always hope for a miracle — not to have the worst happen to a child.” source
