Daveigh Chase‘s mother is speaking out after her daughter’s tragic passing.
Three days after the Ring star died at 35, her mom Cathy Chase reacted to the news of Daveigh’s death and detailed her daughter’s struggles with addiction in recent years.
“I was devastated,” Cathy recalled to the Daily Mail in an interview published June 19. “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.”
“I let out this guttural scream and I just was running,” she continued. “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.”
Yet, according to the former child star’s mom, Daveigh had been struggling for many years, with her issues starting after she was prescribed painkillers, including oxycodone, for a back injury following a motorcycle accident in 2016.
