Our sympathies go out to the family.” The accident had occurred at 10:30 in the morning on Monday.

According to reports the accident occurred when young Exodus was playing near some gym equipments but got herself entangled with the treadmill cord. When she could not be spotted, her mother, 34-year-old Sol Xochitl sent Exodus’s 7 year old brother to look for her. Her brother discovered her with her neck entangled with the treadmill cord that hung from the machine’s console. Her mother tried to revive her but to no avail. She was soon rushed to the hospital. At the time of the accident Mike Tyson was away from home in Las Vegas, shooting for a documentary, but he returned as soon as he heard about the incident.
