Billy Bob Thornton Daughter Arrested in Baby’s Death

The oldest daughter of actor Billy Bob Thornton was arrested on charges of child neglect that resulted in the death of a 1-year-old Florida girl she babysat in October.

Amanda Brumfield, 29, told police the baby fell and hit her head October 3. Brumfield called for help two hours after the child’s fall.

An autopsy revealed the girl suffered a fractured skull and brain injury. The medical examiner ruled her death a homicide. Police say Brumfield’s explanation was inconsistent with the child’s injuries.

A rep for Thornton says the actor and Brumfield have been estranged for “quite some time.” “When informed about this situation, he commented that, ‘Anytime a baby’s life is lost is an unimaginable tragedy and my heart goes out to the baby’s family and loved ones,’” the publicist, Arnold Robinson, added.

Brumfield is Thornton's daughter with ex-wife Melissa Lee Gatlin.
