The four-year-old daughter of former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson has died, a day after what police in Arizona called a “tragic accident” in her home.

Phoenix police spokesman Andy Hill said Exodus Tyson was pronounced dead in a hospital just before noon yesterday, local time.

Police say the girl was playing on a treadmill on Monday in her Phoenix home when her head apparently slipped inside a cord hanging under the console.

Exodus's seven-year-old brother found her and alerted his mother.

Police and firefighters tried to resuscitate Exodus on the way to hospital.

Tyson was in Las Vegas at the time of the accident and flew to Phoenix on Monday.
