"After a difficult childhood and a painful falling out with her family, Daveigh was bullied and struggled to find safety and happiness in downtown LA. When we met, I promised to protect her and give her the love and comfort she deserved. Together, we found moments of happiness and hope," he wrote in a GoFundMe post shortly before her death.

Meanwhile, her father John David Schwallier, also shared that Chase had struggled with drugs since she was a teenager, and had been homeless, living in Los Angeles with her boyfriend near the hospital where she died.
