Daveigh Chase -- who was the voice of Lilo in Disney's Lilo and Stitch and played Samara in The Ring among her many roles on screen -- died at the age of 35, per reports.
What was Chase's cause of death? TMZ reported that her boyfriend Roy Hernandez said she "died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down." The site also reports she had been in a Los Angeles hospital earlier in June due to "malnutrition."
Sending good thoughts to her family and loved ones.
Per the Cleveland Clinic:
Meningitis makes the protective layers surrounding your brain and spinal cord swell. Bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites and noninfectious conditions can cause meningitis. Common symptoms include fever, neck stiffness and light sensitivity.
