(TERRE HAUTE) - Authorities say a Terre Haute couple failed to provide adequate nutrition and follow-up medical care for their disabled 5-year-old daughter who died last year.
The Terre Haute Tribune Star reports 33-year-old Brian Moseman and 27-year-old Tiffany Daugherty were arrested Tuesday on charges including neglect of a dependent resulting in death.
The child identified in court records only as "A.M." died January 21st of last year.
They're jailed on $75,000 bond.
A forensic pathologist told investigators shortly after the death there were no signs of physical abuse, but the girl had microcephaly, seizures and other issues.
A final report on the death listed pneumonia and malnutrition as indications of medical neglect.
