Chase found fame as a child star in 2002 with her haunting portrayal of Samara Morgan in The Ring.She later appeared in a number of film and television projects including Lilo & Stitch, Donnie Darko, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, ER, and Big Love.She gradually stepped back from the public eye after 2013, with her final social media activity in 2017 and her last red carpet appearance at a Vogue dinner in April 2013.Over the following years, she had several reported run-ins with the law, including an arrest in 2017 in Los Angeles in connection with joyriding in a stolen vehicle.Her partner describes a bitter feud with her family, and a desperate fight for them to get off the streets.

Daveigh was diagnosed with meningitis and several serious blood infections. 'Her condition has become critical, and the doctors have told me she may not have much time left. All she ever wanted was a place where we could live together, feel safe, and be happy. 'Now, more than ever, I want to give her that sense of home and peace in her final days.'I understand we all go through things, but if you can help, I will be really grateful for anything.'Daveigh's partner confirmed her death earlier this month, revealing a painful health battle that involved meningitis, a blood infection and sepsis.Chase was first admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles in early June.Her partner, Roy Hernandez, had been pleading for help to fund her care via multiple GoFundMe campaigns in the weeks before her death.
