DID MIKE TYSON HIT A PLANE PASSENGER?

Tyson recently hit the headlines after a video of him hitting a plane passenger repeatedly surfaced on the internet. According to Tyson's representative, the passenger was harassing him and even threw a water bottle at him.

The alleged victim, Melvin George Townsend III, denied throwing any bottle. His attorney claimed that "Tyson became agitated by an overly excited fan and began to strike him. This situation could have been avoided simply by contacting a flight attendant."

Despite the incident, Tyson won't face misdemeanor battery charges as the case won't be escalated to criminal court.

HOW DID MIKE TYSON'S DAUGHTER DIE?

In 2009, Tyson experienced tragedy when his four-year-old daughter, Exodus, died during a treadmill accident in their home. Her brother, Miguel, found her hanging on a cord by the workout equipment and was placed on life support.

Sadly, she passed away at a Phoenix hospital. Tyson, who was in Las Vegas, flew to Phoenix after learning of the incident. He took his daughter's death hard. Sgt. Andy Hill said:

“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 off of it.”
