Miguel and Exodus came from Mike Tyson’s relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Sol Xochitl. Sadly, Exodus, Morocco’s second older sister, is late. She died at 4 in 2009, long before Morocco was born and his father even met his mother. Exodus was caught in a treadmill cord in her Phoenix home and died after she was rushed to a local hospital.

Despite immediate efforts by her mother to rescue her and perform CPR, Exodus was unresponsive.
