Former Manager's Claims
TMZ reported a statement from Chase's former manager, who claimed that her family does not know who Roy Hernandez is. This came after Hernandez set up a funding page, where he called Chase the 'light of his life' and wrote about her difficult childhood and falling out with her family. He stated, 'When we met, I promised to protect her and give her the love and comfort she deserved.'
The former manager countered, '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.' They urged people not to donate to the page, asserting that no one from her life is aware of Hernandez.
In response, Hernandez stated he would use the money to give her a proper memorial.
