Daveigh Chase left behind six-figure estate despite living on streets

Late actress Daveigh Chase had a six-figure estate as she lived on the streets, according to a court filing from her mother in the wake of The Ring star’s tragic death at 35 last month.

Cathy Chase, in a peтιтion to be the estate’s administrator filed July 8 in Los Angeles Superior Court and reviewed by the Daily Mail, said that her late daughter had $400,000 in ᴀssets at the time of her pᴀssing June 16.

Cathy said in the filing that Daveigh was ‘unhoused but pᴀssed in Los Angeles County,’ with her most recent known address in Chatsworth, California.

It comes after it had been revealed that Chase’s manager and stepsister launched a probe last year to find the actress, with a surfaced clip indicating that she had been staying in an RV in the Skid Row neighborhood of Los Angeles.

In her peтιтion, Cathy said that Daveigh died without a spouse or children, and was survived by both of her parents. 

The Daily Mail has reached out to legal representatives for Cathy Chase for further comment on the story.

Cathy said that she did not have a specific address to reach Daveigh’s father John Schwailler, as she said she’s ‘informed and believes’ that he resides in the Philippines and owns property in Las Vegas.

She added the address of the Philippine Consulate General in Los Angeles to the legal filing.

A hearing in the matter is slated for August 12 in Los Angeles Superior Court. 

Cathy Chase last month told the Daily Mail about the harrowing moments she experienced upon learning of her daughter’s death via online news alerts.

‘I was devastated,’ Cathy said. ‘It felt like something inside of me squeezing all of the air out of me, and at the same time, it felt like I was exploding outwardly.’

She continued, ‘I let out this guttural scream and I just was running. And these weird sounds were coming out of me, these kind of, like, primeval sounds.

‘And I went out into the backyard, and I was screaming, “No, no, no, no!” I am in so much pain but I hope her soul heard me.’

Cathy told the Daily Mail she had said a prayer for her late daughter when she identified her at a Los Angeles hospital early June 18.

She said a chaplain joined her as they ‘were able to lay hands and pray.’

Cathy added, ‘We were able to lay hands and pray. Technically, we were touching the glᴀss, but it’s as close as we could get, so we were able to lay hands and pray for her.

‘It was a beautiful experience, and, I feel very blessed to have been able to share that with my daughter.’

The latest in the sad story surrounding the one-time child star comes weeks after the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner said that her cause of death was acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and ‘chronic polysubstance abuse.’

Daveigh’s father Schwallier told The New York Times last month that her death was the result of complications from bacterial meningitis and a blood infection.

He told the newspaper that Daveigh had been homeless in Los Angeles with her boyfriend, and had battled drug addiction since her early teens.

Daveigh had been estranged from both of her parents, Schwailler told the AP in a text message, adding that he was ‘not surprised’ about the AIDS diagnosis with ‘her lifestyle’ in mind.

Daveigh Chase was best known for her work in films such as The Ring and Lilo & Sтιтch, both of which had been released in 2002. The Las Vegas-born actress had previously appeared in the 2001 film Donnie Darko and 2003 series Oliver Beene.
