Boxer Mike Tyson's four-year-old daughter has died following a “tragic accident” involving a treadmill.
Exodus Tyson was hospitalised on Monday after she was discovered with her neck caught in the cable of the exercise machine at her home in Phoenix.
She was put on a life support at a nearby hospital but died at 1845 GMT yesterday, police said.
Authorities believe Exodus had either put her head inside the cable or slipped and become entangled in the cord.
She was found nearby the machine by her brother, Miguel, who alerted her mother, Monica Turner.
Monica attempted CPR before the child was taken to hospital.
Mike, a former world heavyweight champion, was in Las Vegas when the accident happened but flew to be by the child's bedside on Monday.
A family statement said: "The Tyson family would like to extend our deepest, most heartfelt thanks for all your prayers and support, and we ask that we be allowed our privacy at this difficult time."
Mike split from Monica, his second wife, in 2003 after six years of marriage.
