Summary
Tragic news breaks as actress Daveigh Chase, known for her haunting role as Samara in The Ring and her voice as Lilo in Lilo & Stitch, dies at 35 from complications of infection and malnutrition. Her family is now stepping in to manage final arrangements amid a brewing controversy over a crowdfunding campaign launched by her boyfriend — whom her former manager accuses of unauthorized control and poor handling of her medical emergency. The manager insists Chase’s estate has enough funds and that the campaign’s organizer lacks authority, while Chase’s family urges fans not to donate. A star who rose young and earned acclaim for her chilling villain performance, Chase’s passing has sparked both mourning and a messy public dispute over her legacy.
