Daveigh passed away after she was hospitalised for malnutrition. After her death, her former manager called out her alleged boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, for starting a GoFundMe page for the actress. For the unversed, the page started by Roy was a fundraiser to give Daveigh a “sense of home and peace in her final days.” Roy had claimed that Daveigh had a painful fallout with her family, and that was the moment he met her.
On the other hand, Daveigh’s former manager questioned Roy’s identity. He told TMZ that the actress’s family and friends don’t know Roy and the authenticity behind the page. Revealing how the actress had a trust account for her medical aid, her manager stated:
“A man claiming to be Daveigh’s boyfriend has launched a GoFundMe page purportedly on behalf of Daveigh and her family. Neither her family nor her close friends know who this person is. I can confirm Daveigh has a SAG trust account with more than enough funds to cover all medical and related expenses.”
Daveigh Chase’s alleged boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, gained limelight after he started a GoFundMe campaign for Daveigh. He mostly stayed out of the limelight and mentioned every detail about Daveigh’s life on the GoFundMe page.

She was last seen in the independent films, Jack Goes Home and American Romance, and afterwards she stepped away from the limelight. In 2017, she stopped interacting with fans online. Instead, she decided to live a private life away from the entertainment world.
The former actress’s life came to an end on June 16, 2026. According to her alleged boyfriend, Roy, Daveigh was hospitalised due to several malnutrition issues, but the doctors found that she had multiple serious infections, such as meningitis and bloodstream infections.
