A transcript of the 911 call made when Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter was discovered unconscious in the family's home indicates the child's mom "did all she could when this tragic accident occurred," police tell E! News.

"She did what experts suggest," Phoenix Police Sgt. Andy Hill said. "She called 911 immediately. She began CPR and continued until police and firefighters arrived. The Phoenix Fire Department 911 operator did an outstanding job on this call, assisting the mother until help arrived on scene."

Exodus, Tyson's daughter with Sol Xochitl, was pronounced dead Tuesday morning, a day after she apparently got her head caught in a cord hanging from a treadmill and choked.

Per the 911 transcript, Xochitl first told the dispatcher her baby had choked from the treadmill.

"I don't think so," she cried when the fire department operator she was transferred to asked if the child was breathing.

The operator then instructed Xochitl to give Exodus CPR, which the mom said she knew how to do, adding that she saw blood in the child's mouth.

"They're coming as fast as they can, OK? They're about a mile away...You're doing a good job," the official reassured her.

Authorities have said that they believe Exodus' death was an accident.

"There is no update to the case at this point," Hill told E! News. "Investigators continue to view it as an accidental death based on all the evidence obtained thus far. The only other piece of the investigation they are waiting for is the report that will be submitted by the Maricopa County Medical Examiner."
