Daveigh Chase Death Revealed | Newark News

Actress Daveigh Chase, known for voicing Lilo in “Lilo & Stitch” and chilling Samara in “The Ring,” has died at 35. The LA County Medical Examiner ruled AIDS the primary cause, with chronic drug use as a contributing factor — contradicting earlier claims of meningitis and sepsis. Her father revealed a long history of addiction and estrangement from family, while her boyfriend described her final days as marked by severe illness and destitution. Once a rising star from “Donnie Darko” to “Big Love,” Chase’s final role was in 2016’s “American Romance.” Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
