GoFundMe Scrutiny After Actor's Death
19 Jun
Summary
- GoFundMe linked to Daveigh Chase drew scrutiny post-mortem.
- Manager questioned the legitimacy of the fundraiser.
- Actor reportedly lived in distressing conditions for months.
Following the passing of actor Daveigh Chase on Tuesday, June 16, at age 35, a GoFundMe page associated with her name has come under scrutiny. The organizer of the fundraiser remains unclear, leading to questions about its propriety.
Chase's longtime manager, John Ryan, conveyed to The California Post that he viewed the GoFundMe as improper. Reports indicate that Roy Hernandez, identified as the late actor's alleged boyfriend, set up the fundraiser. Ryan further stated that Chase had been enduring distressing living conditions for months, despite efforts by friends and family to assist her.
Despite the concerns surrounding the GoFundMe, Ryan mentioned that a SAG trust account exists to cover necessary costs. He also indicated that plans are underway with Chase's stepsister, Gaia Brown, to seek rehabilitation support for the actor.
