A transcript of the heart-wrenching call made by boxer Mike Tyson’s girlfriend to paramedics after finding their daughter Exodus hanging from a treadmill has been released.
In the graphic 911 tape, the girlfriend, who is believed to share a house with Tyson in Phoenix, Arizona, can be heard crying as she tries to tell the fire department what her emergency is.
She is heard saying: “Yes, my baby, she’s choked! She has the… The thing from the… ”
“My baby choked from the treadmill thing! Please!”
The dispatcher talks her through CPR before she tells him she knows how to perform it.
But then she tells the dispatcher that she cannot do it because Exodus had blood in her mouth.
She can be heard on the tape telling him: “There’s a lot of fluids in her mouth.”
The dispatcher asks: “Fluids in her mouth?” and she replied: “YES! Blood.”
The fire dispatcher then asks: “Can you turn her… Can you turn her on her side?”
She tells him: “YES!” as he then tells her: “Okay, and try and get that blood to drain out, okay?”
She then asks: “Should I throw her down like – like her back? On her back?”
But the dispatcher just instructs her: “Just turn her over, turn her over til her… ”
She says: “Should I do CPR on her?” and the dispatcher says: “Yeah, I’m going to tell you how to do CPR.” But she informs him: “I know how to do it!”
He then adds: “Okay, I want you to go ahead and the blood outta there as best as you can and then I want you to start CPR on her.”
Tyson’s girlfriend then starts performing CPR until the paramedics and police arrive.
Exodus was rushed to a hospital and put on a life-support machine but died a short time later.
