The Death That shattered Mike Tyson’s world — R.I.P Tyson Exodus…
Tyson’s world was shattered when his four-year-old daughter, Exodus, died in a horrifying and tragic accident.
The little girl’s body was found by her seven-year-old sibling at their home in Phoenix, Arizona.
She was discovered on the treadmill and it appeared she had been strangled by a cord attached to the machine.
Sgt Andy Hill from the Phoenix Police Department said at the time: “We believe the child was on the treadmill but it was not running at the time. She might have been playing like it was.”
Exodus was rushed to hospital, where she was placed on life support, and Tyson, who was in Los Angeles at the time, rushed to be at his little girl’s bedside.
But there was nothing that could be done and Exodus passed away on May 25, 2009.
Tyson gave an emotional interview following her death where he admitted his initial reaction had been to “get my gun, automatic just like this and go crazy”.
However, he realised other parents were going through the same heartbreaking experience as he was when he arrived at the hospital.
But he admits he “couldn’t handle” what had happened.
Before the interview was abruptly stopped, Tyson said: “I did some cocaine for a week, I had to get high, I couldn’t handle it at all.”
