Former Child Star Daveigh Chase Left $400,000 Despite Dying on Skid Row

New details have emerged about the tragic death of former child star Daveigh Chase, revealing that she left behind a surprisingly large estate of approximately $400,000 in personal property, according to court documents filed by her mother, Cathy Chase.

Daveigh, best known for her roles in 'The Ring' and 'Monsters, Inc.,' died on June 16 at the age of 35. The cause of death was ruled as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) combined with drug use, classified as natural causes.

Despite her significant assets, the actress spent her final months in difficult circumstances. Friends had been desperately trying to locate her after receiving a video showing her living in an RV near Los Angeles' Skid Row area, raising concerns about her well-being.

Cathy Chase has petitioned the court to be appointed administrator of her daughter's estate, noting that Daveigh was never married and had no children. The filing also mentions Daveigh's father, John Schwailler, who splits his time between Las Vegas and the Philippines, though his overseas address is unknown, potentially complicating probate.

Fans are mourning the loss of a talented actress who, despite having substantial savings, was unable to get the help she needed. Her story serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by former child stars.
