Mike Tyson’s Daughter Clinging To Life Following Hanging Accident

Posted by Juan

The tragic story that is Mike Tyson writes another chapter

Tyson with his daughter

Did you catch this story?! Apparently the never ending saga that is Mike Tyson got even more tragic yesterday.  The 4-year-old daughter of the once undisputed heavyweight champ is in critical condition after a family member found her hanging from a cord.

Monday around 10:30 a.m., Phoenix Police and paramedics responded to a call at the Tyson home.  CPR was administered and Exodus Tyson was taken to nearby St. Joe’s Hospital. She is currently on life support and clinging to life in critical condition.  Allegedly her 7-year-old brother discovered Exodus with a cable around her neck, hanging from the treadmill, and immediately called 911.

“Somehow the little girl got something caught across her throat, she became unresponsive, the boy went and got the mother, and the mother came out and found the child,” says Phoenix Police Sgt. Andy Hill.

Though the police are investigating the incident as an accident what more can go wrong? We have all read “Things Fall Apart” by Nigerian author Chinua Achebe and perhaps the title would have been more fitting Tyson’s biography.  This once iconic and majestic figure in sports lore has totally dismantled himself and now its even effecting those around him.   I’m a firm beliver in “Chi” and “Karma” and while I’m in no position to judge the actions of others it makes you wonder what could one man have done to deserve all the turmoil that has befallen his career, his mental health and now even his family.  Lets keep him and his family in our prayers.

    MAN!!! I pray this little girl will be fine and recover fully from this. Now, I’ve seen many treadmills, but I’ve never seen one with cables hanging off of it…???

    I pray she makes it through, she’s just a baby. I can’t imagine how scared she must have been while it happened. I really hope this wasn’t a stupid act that happened out of curiousity. I’m not judging the brother but I really hope he did find her like that and that he didn’t….well you know…

    I’m just praying that everything will be okay. GOD BLESS
