Recent reports claiming that Daveigh Chase, the voice actress for Lilo in Disney's 2002 film 'Lilo & Stitch,' died of AIDS are unsubstantiated. As of July 1, 2026, no official medical examiner's report or family statement has confirmed this cause of death.
Chase, who also appeared in films such as 'The Ring' and 'Donnie Darko,' was reported to have died on June 16, 2026, at age 35. However, details surrounding her death remain unverified by reliable sources.
Gray News, the original source of the claim, has not provided corroborating evidence, and a web search yields no official records or credible news outlets confirming the cause. The actress's legal name was Daveigh Schwallier, but this has not been linked to any verified death certificate.
Until official documentation or family confirmation is released, readers should treat the reported cause of death as unconfirmed.
