Dad sentenced to 9 years in prison for death of 11-month-old daughter (Sullivan, Illinois)

Dad MICHAEL DILLEY has been convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of his 11-month-old daughter, and sentenced to 9 years in prison. Note that the baby's death took place "at her father's home"--not her parents' home. Was this a situation involving custody/visitation? That's not made clear here, and I haven't yet found any other information. But note that Daddy has lost his parental rights to another child.
