Mike Tyson: Displays strength to cope with tragedy
It was a great tragedy in Mike Tyson's life to have lost his little daughter. Just when his life was taking a major turn for the better, he lost his four year old daughter to a freak accident at home.
"It's unbelievable," added LaLa Vazquez, one of the producers of Tyson, the life documentary about the boxing champion. He continued, "He hit a great point with this movie, and people were starting to get him, and treat him with understanding. And this happens."
Daughter Exodus died on Tuesday at a Phoenix hospital after she accidentally got her neck wrapped in a cord from an exercise machine. Mike Tyson, who was in Las Vegas at the time, flew to Arizona and was seen entering the hospital. He launched a statement saying, "There are no words to describe the tragic loss."
As documented in Tyson, the boxer has had a life filled with ups and downs , much of it brought upon him by himself as he battled his demons. The movie from filmmaker James Toback has been met with critical and financial success, and has shown the public different sides of the often-misunderstood Tyson.
Regarding Exodus's death Vazquez said, "I think he's at a point where he can deal with it.""But I don't care how confident you are in yourself: This is a crusher. With maturity and age and everything he went through, he will be able to pull this through for his family. He will make it through this. But, man, what else can happen to him?"
Mike Tyson also makes appearance as himself in the comedy titled The Hangover that is scheduled to be released on 5th June. |
