Daveigh Chase, known for voicing Lilo in Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch” and for playing Samara Morgan in the American version of “The Ring,” has died at age 35. Multiple outlets report that her death follows a sudden illness and that she was hospitalized earlier in the month, with her boyfriend providing information to the media. Several sources attribute her death to complications related to meningitis, and one report also describes a related bloodstream infection. Deadline and other coverage note that Chase had largely stepped away from acting in recent years, including after 2016, following personal and legal issues. Her performances in the early 2000s made her a recognizable figure in both horror and animation: she voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated film and appeared as the villain Samara in the same year’s “The Ring.” Other reporting adds that she was also credited in additional projects beyond those franchises. Her death is widely reported as occurring on Tuesday.
