Former child star Daveigh Chase –– best known for voicing Lilo in “Lilo & Stitch” — died of AIDS at a Los Angeles hospital after a heartbreaking battle with drug addiction and homelessness.
The 35-year-old’s primary cause of death was listed as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), with chronic polysubstance use — the use of more than one drug in a short period of time — also listed as a contributing factor, according to a Los Angeles Medical Examiner report obtained by Page Six on Monday.
Chase’s manner of death was ruled natural.
The “Ring” star died on June 16 after being diagnosed with meningitis and several “serious” blood infections that turned her body septic, according to her grief-stricken boyfriend Roy Hernandez.
