Daveigh Chase was cremated after she passed away last month ... and her mother took possession of her remains.
We've obtained the former child star's death certificate from Los Angeles County ... and it shows she was cremated. Her final place of disposition -- the final resting place -- is listed as her mother Cathy Chase Schwallier's residence.
An autopsy was not performed, according to the document ... and the cause of death doesn't come as a surprise either -- it's listed as AIDS, which we learned from the L.A. County Medical Examiner a couple of weeks ago.
Daveigh Chase's mom revealed her daughter, who was living in an RV near Skid Row when she died, left behind a massive amount of money ... TMZ has learned.
According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Cathy Chase asked the court to appoint her as the administrator of the late actress' estate. She said Daveigh had no children and was never married.
She said her daughter left behind $400K in personal property. Cathy said Daveigh’s dad, John Schwailler, lives in Vegas and in the Philippines, but she doesn’t know his address overseas.

Daveigh Chasespent the final years of her life living in an RV with her boyfriend ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to the actress tell TMZ ... she and her boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, were staying in the RV in the Boyle Heights area of downtown Los Angeles, minutes away from Skid Row, up until June 3, when she was admitted to a local hospital.
We broke the story ... Daveigh died Tuesday at a Los Angeles hospital. Sources told us she died from meningitis and a blood infection.
A GoFundMe created to raise money for Daveigh Chase's medical and living expenses is raising concerns among some of her friends ... but Daveigh's boyfriend, who launched the campaign, insists there's no shady business.
Roy Hernandez says he has been with Daveigh since 2019, and in her final days, he launched the fundraiser for the "Lilo & Stitch" and "The Ring" star ... because she was battling meningitis and multiple blood infections and needed financial support.
But, a longtime friend and former manager for Daveigh tells TMZ ... her friends and relatives have their suspicions. The manager says, "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."
Daveigh Chase's friends desperately searched for the actress on Los Angeles' Skid Row in the months before her death ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to Daveigh tell TMZ ... her inner circle had been trying to locate her for years after she went MIA amid personal struggles.
We're told friends got a lead on her whereabouts a few months before she died. They were sent a video they believed showed Daveigh living on Skid Row, a section of downtown Los Angeles known for its homeless encampments.
6/29/2026 11:04 AM PT --Daveigh Chase's official cause of death has been revealed ... and the former child star died from AIDS ... TMZ has confirmed.
Daveigh Chase -- the former child actress -- is dead ... TMZ has learned.
The actress' boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ ... Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.
We're told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.
Chase was a passenger in a BMW cops pulled over Tuesday around 10 AM in Hollywood. After they quickly ran the plates, the whip popped up as stolen.
Law enforcement sources tell us even though Daveigh wasn't driving she was booked for driving in a car without owner's consent ... which is a felony. The driver was booked for the same thing. We're told it's unclear who stole the car, but cops are investigating.
Daveigh -- who's also the voice of Disney's Lilo from "Lilo & Stitch" -- is currently in jail on $25,000 bail. We've reached out to her reps ... so far no word back.
Daveigh Chase got busted after rushing a dying man to the hospital -- but her arrest has nothing to do with his death ... well, almost nothing.
Daveigh, the voice of Lilo in "Lilo & Stitch," dumped the guy outside an L.A. hospital in the wee hours of Feb. 15, and immediately bounced ... according to our law enforcement sources. He was pronounced dead after hospital staffers found him.
We're told someone told police Daveigh had been hanging out with the guy in the hours before his death. When cops ran her name, they found an outstanding warrant, and arrested her early Wednesday.
Our sources say Daveigh -- who was also the creepy chick in "The Ring" -- is NOT a suspect in the man's death. We're told cops are treating it as a possible overdose, and Daveigh says she was merely trying to get him help at the hospital.

Casey Anthony
SURFACES IN OHIO:
THE FIRST PHOTOS
Casey Anthony was hanging out in Ohio this past weekend ... and now new photos -- the first since her release from jail -- have surfaced showing the 25-year-old hiding in plain sight during a mid-day shopping trip.
Casey was photographed on Sunday -- trying to blend in by wearing an Ohio State University baseball cap, a tight-fitting top and glasses as she walked around town ... stopping at an Old Navy to check out some dresses.
Anthony has several relatives who live in Ohio -- but it's unclear if she has spent time them. Sources extremely close to Anthony tell us she has been bouncing around the country ever since her release from jail after being acquitted of murdering her daughter.
Next stop -- no one seems to know.
However, TMZ broke the story ... Casey intends to seek treatment for mental issues. No word on where and when that will happen.

CASEY ANTHONY'S PARENTS
TROPICAL VACATION ...
WHAT'S THE PORPOISE??
Just 4 days after Casey Anthony was released from jail ... her parents were kickin' it in the Bahamas ... and went swimming with dolphins -- and for once, there's hard evidence to back up the story.
George and Cindy Anthony went swimming at Dolphin Cay at the Atlantis resort on July 21 ... and spent all sorts of quality time smiling and making kissy faces with a dolphin named Hercules.
As for Casey ... we're told she was not part of the tropical vacation -- but as TMZ first reported, she did enjoy a Corona minutes after she was released from the pokey.
Life after a murder trial sure is relaxing.
