Daveigh Chase has passed away at the age of 35.
According to TMZ, the actor’s death was confirmed by her boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, who said that Chase had died from meningitis and an infection in her blood.

Chase began acting in 1998, appearing in an episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, with her breakout role later coming in 2001’s Donnie Darko.
She is best known for providing the voice of Lilo in the 2002 Disney animation of Lilo & Stitch, as well as subsequent films Stitch! The Movie and Leroy & Stitch as well as TV spin-off Lilo & Stitch: The Series.

Chase had taken a step back from the spotlight in more recent years, with her last acting credit being American Romance, with the former actor experienced various legal issues in 2017 and 2018.
It has since been revealed that a GoFundMe was set up by her partner, which he had hoped to raise funds for Chase to experience ‘comfort’ while she was seriously ill.
