Heavy weight champion Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter was pronounced dead at 11:45 a.m. local time Tuesday. She was on life support before she passed and was in critical condition. Her older brother had found her the day earlier strangled with one of the cords on the families treadmill in their Phoenix home in Arizona. The boy called his mother and she untangled her and tried to perform CPR while calling 911 but by the time the emergency workers arrived she already needed to be on life support. After an investigation, it was found that this was just a terrible accident that happened while she was supposedly playing on the treadmill like it was on.
I believe that this is a terrible accident. The article said that about 1,000 children under the age of 14 die of unintentional strangulation each year. This is an alarming number. I did not know that this many children die each year from this. The article also said that 88 percent of the children are under the age of 4. This is just terrible to think about. It is a shame that we can child proof and child proof our homes, but it is still not enough sometimes. It is terrbile that some children are killed by the very things that they live with everyday. I cannot even begin to think of how the Tyson is feeling, or what they are going through. I feel terrible for them and anyone else who has lost their children for any reason. I cannot believe that this happened.
