CLAY COUNTY, Fla. \u2014 An Orange Park man remained in Clay County jail Tuesday on no bond charged with homicide in the death of a child that was in his care.<\/p>\n
Anthony Bryce Thompson, 23, was arrested Friday in the death of the child who died on July 15, according to a Clay County Sheriff\u2019s Office arrest report.<\/p>\n
Deputies were called that day to a home in response to a child choking, according to the report that\u2019s partially redacted. After arriving on the scene, Thompson escorted deputies to the child who was unresponsive.<\/p>\n
Clay County Fire Rescue took the child to HCA Orange Park and then the child was flown by helicopter to Wolfson Children\u2019s Hospital in Jacksonville, the report states.<\/p>\n
When the child was hospitalized, authorities believed it was a medical related incident, \u201chowever no conclusive testing had been done at that time,\u201d the report states.<\/p>\n
\u201cBased on the facts and circumstances determined during this investigation, the suspect was an adult and the sole caregiver of *redacted child, at the time of the fatal injury,\u201d the report states.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe injury was determined to be abusive head trauma likely caused by severe acceleration\/deceleration (shaking). The severity of the injury showed a grossly careless disregard for the safety of *redacted.\u201d<\/p>\n
