Daveigh Chase, the horror actress who crawled out of a TV in The Ring and voiced Lilo in Disney's animated Lilo & Stitch, died this month from Aids, according to a medical examiner's report. Chase, who also voiced Chihiro in the English version of Spirited Away and starred in the cable drama Big Love, passed away on 16 June at the age of 35. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, which marked the case status as "open", listed "chronic polysubstance use" under "other significant conditions" she was experiencing.
Main Idea: Daveigh Chase, best known for The Ring and Lilo & Stitch, has died at age 35, and a medical examiner said AIDS was a cause.
Key Points:
The death adds to public concern about homelessness, addiction, and overdose-linked illness, and the medical examiner’s open case shows some uncertainty about the final cause.
The medical examiner report may help families and doctors better understand health risks tied to chronic substance use and severe infection.
