(CNN) -- The 4-year-old daughter of boxing legend Mike Tyson died Tuesday, a day after she was injured in a treadmill accident at her home, police in Phoenix, Arizona, said.

Exodus Tyson was prounounced dead at 11:45 a.m. local time Tuesday, said Sgt. Andy Hill, a Phoenix police spokesman. He gave no other details.

The girl was found by her 7-year-old brother on a treadmill in the Phoenix home Monday "with her neck on ... a cable" attached to the machine, police said in an earlier statement.

The mother "took her daughter off the cable" and called authorities, and Exodus was taken to a hospital, according to police.

Former world heavyweight champion Tyson traveled from Las Vegas, Nevada, to Phoenix where his daughter was on life support in critical condition on Monday, police said.

The 42-year-old Brooklyn-born Tyson became the youngest world heavyweight champion in history when he lifted the World Boxing Council title aged 20.

Tyson also won the WBA and IBF versions of the crown during a career that was littered with controversy including disqualification for biting Evander Holyfield's ear during a 1997 title rematch.

He retired from the sport in 2005, but was back in the news this month with the U.S. release of the film "Tyson," a documentary that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last year.

[Darkhawk9587]

That's such a shame. No one should have to go through something like this.

[NARMAK]

so sad to see somebody so young die

I also know of a three year old near our area that we drove past was killed by a reversing car in her backstreet

so sad to think that sometimes these tragedies could be averted if a adult is present around young ones

RIP

Any child death is hard to take. Ones that can so easily avoided, like this one, seem even harder.

I can't imagine what I would do if something happened to one of mine.

oh man...hopefully this doesnt result in another tyson meltdown. hes had enough bs to deal with in his life

[Blu_Ray_UK2007]

Cant imagine how that must feel.

While on the topic of Mr. Tyson, his new documentary is pretty interesting. Not exactly self-serving but he opens up about alot of his life, believe it even shows him with his kids at one point.

Hannah Storm couldn't do anything but tear up as she told the news on SC yesterday. It's definitely a sad story.
