We know that Mike Tyson isn't everyone's favorite athlete, that's for sure. But this is still very sad news to report. The four-year-old daughter of Tyson is currently on life support and in "extremely critical condition" after she was found hanging Monday morning from a treadmill cable in her family's Phoenix home.
Exodus Tyson's 7-year-old brother found her on a treadmill with her neck on a cable attached to the exercise machine, police Sgt. Andy Hill said.
"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 of the accident. "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."

5/27/09 UPDATE: Exodus Tyson was pronounced dead just before noon, police Sgt. Andy Hill said. She had been on life support and police have said their investigation showed her injury on Monday was a "tragic accident.''
"There are no words to describe the tragic loss of our beloved Exodus,'' the family said in a statement. "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.''
