New details surrounding Daveigh Chase’s death are emerging.

A death certificate for the *Lilo & Stitch* actress obtained by Page Six revealed Chase’s final resting place.

The document stated that Chase was cremated after her death, and that the actress’ remains were given to her mother, Cathy Chase Schwaller.

Chase died on June 16 at age 35. Her cause of death was later determined to be acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), with drug use listed as a significant condition.

Court documents indicated that the *Ring* star left behind an estate worth $400,000.

Cathy previously told the *Daily Mail* that she believed her daughter’s struggle with addiction began around 2016 after she was prescribed painkillers following an injury from a motorcycle accident. “She was seeking drugs and was partying with the wrong people,” she said. “I never kicked my daughter out. She wanted freedom and these people got her hooked on some drugs. That was the beginning.”

The *Donnie Darko* star’s former manager, John Ryan Jr., previously told ** that Daveigh checked into “a couple rehabs,” but indicated that she sought treatment more for “drinking than heavy drugs.” He also said that the actress was “sober [for] a while” when he fell out of contact with her in late 2015.

Cathy also told *Daily Mail* that she last saw her daughter in person in 2019 after the actress had publicized run-ins with law enforcement.

“She was completely gone, like, out of her mind,” the actress’ mother said. “I honestly thought there was something wrong with her. My daughter was never diagnosed with mental health other than PTSD. But the drugs took hold of her.”

The former child star’s mother said that she had not heard from the actress in six years when she came across a Reddit video that claimed to feature the actress.

“In the video, she was in a really bad shape. She was very frail. She was fragile. She was saying no, and trying to push the camera away, and they were shoving it in her face. It was gross,” Cathy remembered. “She was obviously drugged out of her mind. She was nothing but skin and bones, and I didn’t want to think that was my daughter.”
