Millionaire ‘Lilo’ Star Died Homeless—Progressive Compassion Is the Problem
She died on June 17, 2026, in a hospital bed of meningitis and sepsis triggered by terminal malnutrition. The woman was Daveigh Chase, the voice of Disney’s beloved Lilo in “Lilo & Stitch,” and the nightmare Samara crawling from the well in “The Ring.” She had millions in unclaimed residuals from her child stardom sitting untouched in accounts because she was “too far gone” on heroin and fentanyl. Her longtime manager, John Ryan, and stepsister, Gaia Brown, had hired a private investigator months earlier after videos of her on Skid Row surfaced.
