Daveigh Chase's mom reacts to actress' tragic death: 'I'm in so much pain'

Daveigh Chase’s mother, Cathy Chase, finally broke the silence on the tragic death of the actress.

“I was devastated. 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 said during an emotional interview with the Daily Mail.

The Ring actress’ mother further shared that after hearing the news of her daughter’s death on Tuesday, she was in disbelief.

“I let out this guttural scream and I just was running,” Cathy recalled. “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,” she added.

It is worth mentioning here that Daveigh and her mother had not seen each other since 2019.

When TMZ reported that Daveigh had died after battling meningitis and a blood infection leading to sepsis, the grieving mother revealed that she thought it was “fake news.”

“But then all of a sudden, it’s all of these different legitimate sites had her name and I realized that it wasn’t fake,” shared Cathy.

She identified her daughter’s body on June 18 at a Los Angeles hospital.

Cathy spilled to the outlet that her daughter began taking drugs in 2016, after she was injured in a motorcycle accident.

She then revealed that she “never kicked [her] daughter out.”

“She wanted freedom and these people got her hooked on some drugs,” claimed Cathy. “That was the beginning.”
