The report also cited chronic polysubstance use, described as the use of more than one drug, as another significant condition. Her death was ruled natural. <\/p>\n

Her longtime manager John Ryan informed the media of Chase\u2019s death in a Los Angeles hospital last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was the greatest. She loved cats. She worked with cat rescues with us. She was very to herself,\u201d Ryan told the BBC at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was not very Hollywood. She\u2019d rather eat at Bob\u2019s Big Boy and go home with the cats. She loved acting but wasn\u2019t into the fame scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chase started acting at 4 years old, getting her first role when she was 7, but she retired from working in the profession fulltime in 2015, Ryan said.<\/p>\n

Chase gained widespread recognition voicing Lilo in the 2002 animated hit Lilo & Stitch, a role she later reprised in the franchise\u2019s television spin-offs. Before that breakthrough, she voiced Chihiro in the English-language version of Studio Ghibli\u2019s Spirited Away.<\/p>\n

Despite reports saying she left behind US$400k in personal property, a GoFundMe was set up before her death by Roy Hernandez, a man who said he was her boyfriend. <\/p>\n

On the page, he wrote the actor was suffering complications from an infection in her bloodstream. The page was raising money \u201cto give her that sense of home and peace in her final days\u201d.<\/p>\n

Hernandez described Chase as being \u201ca light in my life\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut behind the scenes, she\u2019s faced more than her share of hardship. After a difficult childhood and a painful falling out with her family, Daveigh was bullied and struggled to find safety and happiness in downtown LA,\u201d Hernandez said.<\/p>\n

However, Ryan told the California Post the fundraiser was wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cApparently, a man claiming to be her \u2018boyfriend\u2019 that none of us friends or her family has heard of has set up a GoFundMe on \u2018her and her family\u2019s behalf\u2019 [and] he set her up as the organiser.\u201d Ryan said there was already a trust account set up to cover costs. <\/p>\n
