    Daveigh Chase, known for her roles in films like Donnie Darko and Spirited Away, died June 16 at 35, following a battle with meningitis and a blood infection, according to her boyfriend, Roy Hernandez who told TMZ. According to Hernandez, Chase’s blood infection had developed into sepsis, with her organs ultimately shutting down. He also noted that the actressโ€”who voiced Lilo in 2002’s Lilo & Stitchโ€”had also been admitted to a hospital earlier in the month due to malnutrition. Chase began her acting career at age 8 with a minor role in Sabrina the Teenage Witch before going on to star in projects like Donnie Darko and Big Love.

    1. This breaks my heart.๐Ÿ˜ข
      So maybe she really was a victim of Diddy and his friends…..
      Because people with severe traumas always die young from every illnesses.
      Because trauma makes you sick in every ways.
      Poor girl. I'm so sad.๐Ÿ˜ข

    2. Assuming she managed her money correctly she should have had some cash. Even the wealthy can't get health insurance.

      Hollywood doesn't have a health plan I guess.

    3. Just so sad and very heartbreaking! Lilo & Stitch has literally been apart of my childhood forever! RIP Daveigh Chase, you'll will always be our Lilo forever ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

    4. That is way too young to die. Daveigh Chase must have had the more serious version, either Fungal meningitis or carcinomatous meningitis to have been killed. My prayers go out to anyone who was a friend or family. Also, hope she is at peace, what an unimaginable loss.

    5. A young life ending tragically too soon! Deepest condolences to her family and those who loved her. May her memory be a blessing and bring peace and comfort to her loved ones! ๐Ÿ’”

    6. I know she was sick but without knowing what happened I thought to my selfโ€ฆ. not another Diddy victim gone too soon.

    7. She is everyoneโ€™s ohona and she will never be forgotten just like every single actor and actress that we have lost along the way and she and the others will never be forgotten they will always be remembered and loved and honored rest in peace lilo we will always remember you and miss you

    8. Her passing away yesterday at age 35 from the disease that made her leave a lasting legacy as the voice Lilo from the movie that'll forever be known as one of the most beautiful characters in Disney history, RIP to this legend who we loved as fans watching over the years of her acting career because we'll miss her very much and remember her life as a child star for Hollywood also she's in heaven not suffering anymore and now in peace ๐Ÿ˜Œ ๐Ÿ˜Œ

    9. ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜Ÿ heartbreaking ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜’ I always remember her from The Ring as Samara, hearing her say 7 days, that creepy long hair๐Ÿ˜…, hate to hear she had health issues, 35 yrs old, so young, remind me of Michelle Trachtenberg who passed away last year at 39, another child star gone, Rest In Peace ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’

    10. I really hope Disney dedicates the upcoming live action Lilo & Stitch sequel to her memory. I trust Chris Sanders to fix the sequel by making Jumba redeem himself and joins the Oโ€™hana, add Captain Gantu (asks Terry Crews to play him) and Angel (maybe ask Emma Stone), add some more Elvisโ€™ songs like Jailhouse Rock, Blue Suede Shoes, If I Can Dream, In The Ghetto, A Little Less Conversation, Unchained Melody, and a cover of Frank Sinatraโ€™s My Way

      Maybe give the sequel a 2hrs run-time if needed.

      RIP Daveigh (the original voice actor of Lilo)
