Former heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson's four-year-old daughter died on Tuesday, a day after accidentally catching her neck in a cord on a treadmill at her home, police said.
"I was just advised by investigators that Exodus Tyson was pronounced deceased at 11:45 am today at the hospital," Phoenix police spokesman Andy Hill said. "Our sympathies go out to the family."
Exodus Tyson had been hospitalised on life support since Monday, when she was found with her neck wrapped in a cable of the exercise machine by her seven-year-old brother.
The boy summoned his 34-year-old mother from another room, and the woman freed the girl, called an ambulance and tried to revive her.
Tyson, who doesn't live in the modest Phoenix house where the accident occurred, arrived Monday afternoon from Las Vegas and was filmed by television news cameras entering the hospital where Exodus was being treated.
"We are grateful for the tremendous outpouring of love and prayers from all over the world," the family said in a statement.
"There are no words to describe the tragic loss of our beloved Exodus. 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."
