Daveigh Chase reportedly had millions in unclaimed residuals despite being homeless before her death.
She was also reportedly malnourished and was suffering from multiple blood infections that turned her body septic, as well as meningitis, before passing away at 35 on June 16. Her death was confirmed to TMZ by her then-alleged boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, on June 17.
Hernandez started a GoFundMe campaign to help the late actress "find comfort and peace." Her family and friends, however, claimed that they did not know him and maintained that she did not need outside help for her posthumous proceedings.
However, the 35-year-old being homeless and living in such a state while having millions of dollars unclaimed in residuals she earned throughout her career, per her longtime former manager John Ryan, has been raising questions.
