Lilo & Stitch star Daveigh Chase’s cause of death is revealed as AIDS
Daveigh rose to international prominence in the early 2000s, capturing hearts with her voice work and chilling audiences with her award-winning horror performances. She also appeared in the cult classic Donnie Darko and the acclaimed television drama Big Love. However, after making her final on-screen appearance in 2016, she largely withdrew from public life and faced severe personal hardships, including periods of homelessness. Prior to the release of the official medical report, her boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, had shared that Daveigh was battling advanced health struggles. She had been hospitalised for malnutrition before developing meningitis and a serious blood infection that ultimately led to sepsis. Roy had launched an online fundraising campaign during her final days, describing her as a constant light who had unfortunately faced more than her share of hardship behind the scenes.
