Mike Tyson's Young Daughter on Life Support

Posted May 25th 2009 8:06PM by TMZ Staff

Mike Tyson's DaughterCops say boxing legend Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter is in critical condition right now at an Arizona hospital, after a freak accident involving a treadmill cord almost took her life.

Paramedics were called to Tyson's Phoenix home at around 10:30 this morning when his 7-year-old son found the young girl hanging from a treadmill by its power cable, according to MyFoxPhoenix. Tyson was not home at the time.

The girl's mother took her off the cable and immediately started CPR.

Paramedics eventually arrived and took the girl to St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, where cops say she remains on life support in "extremely critical condition." Tyson has since arrived to the hospital.

As of now, cops believe the incident was a "tragic accident."

2. Feel sorry for this guy. Seemed like he was finally getting his personal stuff in order.

I would NOT want to be the person who was in charge of watching that poor girl. Mike's gonna kill them.

9. I was once on a mock jury about a cord that hung a little boy. The cord was from mini blinds. Accidents happen to kids all the time. Not the product fault. Just an accident. Look around YOUR house tonight for accidnets waiting to happen.

13. what a tragedy..... blessings and prayers to all of those involved.. thank goodness the little boy wandered in and found her. I am sure the facts will be out soon...it is easy to speculate... but as parents... kids come first and need to be supervised at all times...

14. Omg i hope she's okay. I truly hope she wasn't playing the "shoking game" that kids play. Please if you have a child talk to your child about the shoking game, i know too many children and teens that have died from playing this senseless game at school.
