Daveigh Chase, star of The Ring (2002) and the voice of Lilo in Disney’s animated classic Lilo &Stitch has died at the age of 35. According to reports from those close to the actress, Chase died on Tuesday, June 16th, from “meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.”
Chase’s boyfriend had started a GoFundMe, in which he revealed the many struggles the actress had been going through offscreen, including serious health struggles.
“Daveigh Chase, my girlfriend, has always been a light in my life. Many people know her as a talented childhood actor from ‘Lilo & Stitch,’ ‘Spirited Away,’ and ‘Donnie Darko.’ But behind the scenes, she’s faced more than her share of hardship… Daveigh was diagnosed with meningitis and several serious blood infections. Her condition has become critical, and the doctors have told me she may not have much time left. All she ever wanted was a place where we could live together, feel safe, and be happy. Now, more than ever, I want to give her that sense of home and peace in her final days.”
