A young Taiwanese couple has been accused of letting their baby girl starve to death because they were obsessed with playing games online and forgot to feed her regularly.

The one-year-old weighed only four kilogrammes, or half the average size of a girl her age, when the couple reported her death earlier this week.

Prosecutors will look into the cause of the girl's death and determine whether her parents were responsible.

They face up to two years in prison for manslaughter if convicted.
