Exodus Tyson is in an "extremely critical condition" and on a life support machine, authorities in Phoenix, Arizona, said.

The girl was rushed to hospital after an incident in which she appears to have hanged herself on a cord dangling from a treadmill.

Tyson was in Las Vegas at the time of the accident but has since flown to Phoenix to be at the bedside of his daughter.

Exodus was found with the cord around her neck on Tuesday by her seven-year-old brother.

While emergency services rushed to the scene, the girl's mother tried to revive the child. After further attempts of CPR by firefighters and police officers, the four-year-old was taken to a nearby hospital and put on a life support machine.

Sgt Andy Hill said evidence suggested that the injuries were the result of a "tragic accident".

He added: "Somehow she was playing on this treadmill, and there's a cord that hangs under the console, it's kind of a loop.

"Either she slipped or put her head in the loop, but it acted like a noose and she was obviously unable to get herself out of it."

In a statement, Tyson, 42, said: "The Tyson family would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks for all your prayers and support, and we ask that we be allowed our privacy at this difficult time."
