Daveigh Chase's friend and former manager has revealed that the former child actor had been missing for 10 years before her death was announced earlier this week.
Chase, who voiced Lilo in Disney's 2002 animated hit Lilo & Stitch and terrified audiences as Samara Morgan in The Ring the same year, was 35.
The actor's death was announced by her boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, who told TMZ that she died Tuesday after a bout of meningitis and a blood infection that caused septic issues.
Chase's father, John David Schwallier, confirmed the news to The New York Times, adding that his daughter had been homeless and living in Los Angeles with her boyfriend near the hospital where she died. "Him and her were destitute," Schwallier said.
In an interview published Thursday, John Ryan Jr., a Hollywood producer who represented Chase in the last stage of her career, told Entertainment Weekly that the actor disappeared over a decade ago.
