A six-month-old girl was rescued but died. Her father was also among the deceased.
More survivors were pulled from the collapsed apartment tower on Sunday.
Those found alive include a 20-year-old identified by Taiwan media as Huang Kuang-wei and another man in his 20s surnamed Kuo, who was able to walk out of the wreckage, supported by rescuers. Both were sent to hospital.
More than 120 people trapped
The rescuers are racing against time to save over 120 people who are still trapped in the rubble of the building.
