Mike Tyson's daughter 'extremely critical' after accident

[edjr 7,037]

Why do bad things continue to happen to such good people?

 

PHOENIX – The near-fatal strangulation of boxer Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter appears to be a "tragic accident," police say.

 

Exodus Tyson was on life support Tuesday after apparently accidentally hanging herself on a cord dangling from a treadmill in her modest central Phoenix home.

 

"Somehow she was playing on this treadmill, and there's a cord that hangs under the console — it's kind of a loop," police Sgt. Andy Hill said. "Either she slipped or put her head in the loop, but it acted like a noose, and she was obviously unable to get herself off of it."

 

Exodus' 7-year-old brother found her Monday and told their mother, who was in another room. She took Exodus off the cord, called 911 and tried to revive her.

 

Responding officers and firefighters performed CPR on Exodus as they rushed her to a nearby hospital, where she was in "extremely critical condition" and on life support, Hill said.

 

Hill said former heavyweight champion Tyson, 42, had been in Las Vegas but flew to Phoenix immediately after learning of the accident.

 

"The Tyson family would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks for all your prayers and support, and we ask that we be allowed our privacy at this difficult time," the boxer said in a statement.

 

Brief footage from local TV station KTVK showed Tyson arriving at the hospital in a white button-up and black pants, and looking around with a frown before going inside.

 

Hill said everything in the investigation pointed to a "tragic accident," adding that calls involving children is an officer's most difficult duty.

 

"Those are the things that stay with you in your career," he said. "We always hope for a miracle — not to have the worst happen to a child."

 

Neighbors said they were surprised and saddened when they heard what had happened.

 

"It's terrible," said Abby St. Jermain, who grew up in the neighborhood and is house-sitting for her parents down the street. "The kids are so sweet. We always see them riding their bikes, playing. They've just been wonderful people."

 

Dinka Radic, who lives across the street, described Exodus as smart and sweet.

 

"The little girl, she says 'You got chocolate in your house?'" Radic said. "I say 'Yes,' and she says, 'OK, give me some.'"

 

When she gives the girl the chocolate, Radic said "she just kisses me on my knees. Kiss, kiss, kiss. Very nice."

See? THIS is why I keep my treadmill in an entirely different room.

 

- And never visit it.

these treadmills can be focking viscious.

 

and then, when you have a bad treadmill owner, kids get hurt.

WTF does "Extremely Critical" mean? Like when you come into the ER, they say, "This one is critical, but only a little bit critical. Now this guy is extremely critical. And - holy sh!t - This one is extremely severely majorly focking critical!"

I dunno. It's kind of like the judges on American Idol. The black guy can be critical, but that Simon guy can be EXTREMELY critical.

An even better question is who, in their right mind, would have focked mike tyson ~ 5 years ago. Who looks at a washed-up, face-tattooed, ex-con, wife-beating, child-eating, cocaine using, idiot with a near single digit IQ and says "oooohhhh I wanna have yo' Baby!"

One of the things I love about this site is we don't have to read about bad things happening to kids, regardless of the cause.

 

Have you guys changed your policy on this?

 

 

It shocks me that many of the guys on that site are such sissies.

I would love to ask that question. I mean wth? You see much worse stuff on the news. You hear much coarser language in the workplace. That has always just amazed me. I can't help but think of The Flanders kids when I think of that place.

there would have been a time when I could have made fun of Mike Tyson and not really cared how f'd up his life is or what happened to him and his family...

Where the fock do they find so many men like this, seriously? It's like a race to point out to Joe and Co. how they identified a meanie on the internet, and it gets them some sort of points or something. It's pathetic.

 

I haven't posted there in forevah for fear of getting banned, and keeping my account active in the event of a highly improbable... OK, possible... alright, probable event of a long term crash here again, but I may need to resurrect myself and be an "excellent" pain in the ass there again.

So sorry for the awful news. There goes the idea of me buying any sort of electrical workout equipment for my house.

Jeebus Christ...wtf is wrong with you?

If the poor girl accidently stabbed herself with a steak knife would you stop eating meat?

Better idea...Shield your children from anything and everything that could possibly harm them.

 

Pets? no way...They might scratch

Microwaves? forget it...I heard they caused cancer back in the 70's

Lawnmowers? I'm selling mine...My baby might just figure out how to start it and chop her pretty little head off

Computers? Fook that...I heard that you could electrocute yourself starting it up if you're standing in a bucket of water

 

Teach and educate your kids, retreads

Seriously...

 

Shiate happens people.

 

Report me, ban me..I don't give a flip, just quit being such a freakin' nancy boy :thumbdown:
