By Alicia CruzMike Tyson says that while he is "over the rage" of his daughter's death, he is still in pain over the incident and does not want to know what led to the death of four-year-old Exodus who was found strangled on a treadmill in his home inMay 2008.
Speaking to talk-show mogul, Oprah Winfrey, Tyson said, "If I know, then there might be a blame for it, and if there's somebody to blame for it, there will be a problem." Exodus, who Tyson refers to as his "Angel" was found by her 7-year-old brother found her on a treadmill with her neck on a cable attached to the exercise machine at their Phoenix home.
Exodus’ mother was in another room and was alerted by the brother. She took Exodus off the cord, called 911 and tried to revive her. Responding officers and firefighters performed CPR on Exodus as they rushed her to a nearby hospital, where she was in “extremely critical condition” and on life support. Sadly, she died May 26.
Former world heavyweight champ Tyson had been in Las Vegas, but flew back to Phoenix after hearing of the accident.
"My first instinct was a lot of rage and I was so happy that I had the tools in life...to not go in that directon because I've been in that direction," he told Winfrey."I know where that's gonna lead me. I know I'm not gonna win."
Tyson says he's coping with her death with the help of his family, which he calls "my biggest asset." Tyson's life was documented in the recent movie, "Tyson." He also appeared in the smash summer movie, "The Hangover."
