Willie Lunsford and Dominique Lunsford, both of 526 S. Main St., were originally charged with felony child abuse on Oct. 13, 2010, after their daughter, Danielle, was taken to Danville Regional Hospital in Danville, Va.
The girl was in cardiac arrest, unresponsive and severely malnourished, authorities said.
She died Sept. 25 at Vidant Children's Hospital.
The Lunsfords were placed in the Caswell County jail under $250,000 bonds. They are due in court Wednesday.
