Actress Daveigh Chase died of AIDS, forensic report reveals

Actress Daveigh Chase, who gained fame for her role as Samara in "The Ring," died from AIDS, an investigative report has revealed. The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner's office stated that chronic substance abuse was also a significant contributing factor to her declining health. The report confirmed that Chase, 35, died in a hospital from natural causes. News of her passing initially emerged on June 17, when a person identified as her partner, Roy Hernández, informed TMZ that she had died the previous day following meningitis and multiple blood infections that led to sepsis. Hernández had initiated a GoFundMe campaign, sharing further details about her critical condition and stating that doctors had given her limited time to live. Chase achieved early success in films like "Donnie Darko," "Lilo & Stitch," and "The Ring." Her last screen appearance was in the 2016 film "American Romance." After a notable childhood career, she largely withdrew from public life and reportedly struggled with addiction issues in her later years, living in the Skid Row area of Los Angeles.
