Daveigh Chase, the voice behind the protagonists of both the Disney film and franchise Lilo & Stitch and the English translation of Hayao Miyazaki’s Oscar-winning film Spirited Away, has died at the age of 35.
Chase, who was also notably the girl who crawled out of the TV in horror flick The Ring, died from sepsis after suffering from meningitis in a Los Angeles hospital, her manager John Ryan Jr confirmed to the BBC on Wednesday.
He said she had been admitted to the hospital for malnourishment before her death.
Ryan, her friend and longtime manager, remembered her as “not very Hollywood”.
“She loved acting but wasn’t into the fame scene.”
