Daveigh Chase, the actress who voiced Lilo in Disney’s Lilo & Stitch and played Samara in The Ring, passed away on June 16 at age 35 after a severe health battle that her boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, had publicly revealed through a fundraiser one day earlier.
Hernandez confirmed that Chase had been battling meningitis and a blood infection that developed into sepsis, causing her organs to shut down.
The actress, also known for Donnie Darko, Spirited Away, and Big Love, had reportedly been admitted to a hospital earlier in the month due to malnutrition before her condition deteriorated.
