Mike Tyson Doesn't Want to Know Details of Daughter's Death

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 9th 2009 02:51PM

Since the death of his 4-year-old daughter Exodus in May, Mike Tyson still remains unclear about the details, but he likes it that way. "Because 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," Tyson admitted to Oprah Winfrey on her show set to air Monday, Oct. 12.

Tyson's 7-year-old son Miguel found Exodus entangled in a cord, dangling from an exercise treadmill at the family's Phoenix home. She subsequently died of her injuries a day later.

Tyson has been focusing more on his family in an attempt to overcome the tragic event and not react violently. "I was so happy that I had the tools in life, you know, to not go in that direction because I've been that direction," Tyson said (via PEOPLE.) "My family -- that's my biggest asset."

During the taping, he called his daughter "a little angel." Winfrey replied that she believes that's what Exodus has become.

"I don't know, Oprah. I'd like to believe that, and that sounds great," he said.

The worst feeling in the world is knowing you could have done things differently and your child would be alright. Accidents happen everyday.Thank God if it hasn't happened to you.

By shameonyou

regardless of your opinion of this man, he lost a child. shame on you to try to justify the loss of a child with your personal opinion of mike tyson. your soul must be truly wretched. you are cowardly to throw stones. all you know is of what you have read from the media or some local crow. let this man have some peace.

To everyone who has something to say negative about Mr.Tyson Ihavealso lost a grandchild atthe age of 4and lost aso. This horiffic tragedy is not about if he was a good father,a rapist,a spousal abuser,how he grew up, his past,or his present.To lose achild is a hard thing to deal with in itself.but to lose one unexpectedly isa very hard thing to do.I understand that he doesn't wantto know where the blame lies,becs even if u don't have a background like Mike you would want to hurt someone else also.If u have not lost a child u do not n the pain he is in,I do it is apain u will not soon come back from and u feel the what if's.This is nt about him, but t death of soeone that u helped bring into the world and u will never see ain because part of your soul and heart and definitley your mind is gone. My heart goes out to the father and mother of this child and know that she is with God, Frank and all u other haters out there hope that u nevr feel this typeof loss in your lifetime
