Tyson was not home at the time of the accident. He did travel from Las Vegas to Phoenix to be at his daughter's bedside as any father would have done.

Young Exodus Tyson was prounounced dead at 11:45 a.m. local time Tuesday, said Sgt. Andy Hill, a Phoenix police spokesman. No other details were released.

Exodus Tyson was found by her 7-year-old brother inside their 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.
