Balanced

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Daveigh Chase, the former child actor best known as the voice of Lilo in Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch” and as Samara Morgan in the 2002 horror film “The Ring,” has died at 35. Her manager John Ryan Jr. confirmed she died in a Los Angeles hospital from sepsis following meningitis, while her boyfriend Roy Hernandez told TMZ that meningitis and a blood infection led to septic complications. Chase also appeared in “Donnie Darko” and HBO’s “Big Love,” but had largely stepped away from Hollywood in recent years. Reports say she had been hospitalized earlier in June, with TMZ citing malnutrition before her condition worsened.
