Mike Tyson’s daughter killed by treadmill

Heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson’s 4-year-old daughter Exodus Tyson died yesterday after accidentally strangling herself on a cord dangling from a treadmill.
The accident happened Monday. Exodus’s body was found by her 7-year-old brother. She was unconscious and tangled in the treadmill’s cord. Her mother, Monica Turner, tried to perform CPR on her until paramedics arrived. She remained in critical condition on life support until she died around noon on Tuesday.
The family released a statement saying, “We ask you now to please respect our need at this very difficult time for privacy to grieve and try to help each other heal.”
Those of you waiting for my usual “cruel twist” in this story can fuck right off because one of the top 10 things a person should never do in their life is piss off Mike Tyson. He could punch me through the Internet if he wanted.
Sorry for your loss, Mike.

Really, really glad you didn’t slip any jokes in here. A parent should never outlive their children.

haha, i haven’t read your stuff in a while, but this made me giggle. and honestly, the reason i came to this post via FB is because when i saw the headline about Mike Tyson’s + sidecarsally on my MiniFeed (ha), i thought to myself, “what is dustin going to say about this poor kid/family?”
sure enough, you proved me wrong and gave me a laugh.
hope all is well.

Poor mike, first the fall of his NES mike Tyson boxing game, then singing phil collins in a movie…
The only silver lining is that there will be no more confusion when mike makes a phone call; people will no longer have to ask if the voice on the other line is mike or exodus…. Too soon? Steve irwin didn’t get a grace period either

I lost my nephew on Easter Sunday he was 4 years old. The death of Mike Tyson\’s daughter gives me chills all over again. I am praying for you mike and your family. I dont know what its like to lose a child, however I know it\’s very very hard. We must always say GOD planned something better. Too emotional I am signing off now. May Exodus and Baby Daniel rest in PEACE.

He will definitely get an Exodus tattoo. Maybe on the other side of his face.
