Lilo & Stitch star Daveigh Chase dies at 35 from AIDS; father reacts
TL;DR
Daveigh Chase, the former child actress known for voicing Lilo in Lilo & Stitch and for Spirited Away, died in a Los Angeles hospital on June 16 at 35, with AIDS listed as the cause and chronic polysubstance use noted as another condition. Her father, John Schwallier, told The Post he wasn’t surprised by the AIDS diagnosis, attributing it to years of addiction and homelessness on LA’s Skid Row, and he said he might pursue custody of her cremated remains. Chase had largely stepped away from acting after 2016, with friends and her longtime manager attempting to help her, while her mother Cathy received her remains.
