Blunt force trauma to the head - as we have seen in the media, with head trauma, the victim can look fine for a time, then deteriorate as the brain swells over the next hour or two. [5]
“Mr. Thornton is estranged from Amanda and has had no contact with her for quite some time,” a rep for the star told Access Hollywood on Sunday. [4]
The child apparently became startled and fell to the floor, hitting her head and biting part way through her tongue, according to reports. [3]
The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide and said the explanation Brumfield gave was inconsistent with the child’s injuries, police said. [6]
He is currently dating Connie Angland with who he has a daughter named Bella. [7]
According to the Orlando Sentinel, Brumfield claims the child died after sustaining a head injury from falling from its playpen - she reportedly did not call for help until two-and-a-half hours later. [2]
