Lilo & Stitch star Daveigh Chase died from Aids

Daveigh Chase, the voice of Lilo in Disney's Lilo & Stitch, passed away due to AIDS, as indicated by official reports. According to the medical examiner for Los Angeles County, "chronic polysubstance use" was a significant contributing factor in her demise. According to her mother, Chase became "drugged out of her mind" following a motorcycle crash in 2016, which resulted in an addiction to painkillers and subsequent homelessness.
