She Saved Her Son but Lacked the Strength to Save Herself: Cause of Death Revealed for Naya Rivera, Star of Glee
Police call the actress's death an accident.
American actress Naya Rivera, whose body was found in Lake Piru near Los Angeles, died by drowning as a result of an accident. This was reported, citing the local police department, by BBC.
Ventura County Sheriff Bill Ayub noted that there is no reason to consider the death of the 33-year-old star of the series “Glee” to be violent or a suicide.
This conclusion was reached after Rivera's four-year-old son told police that his mother had managed to throw him onto the boat before she went under water.
“Most likely, the boat, which was not anchored, began to drift away. She had enough strength to put her son back on board, but she was unable to save herself,” — Ayub said.
The actress went missing on July 8 while vacationing on the lake with her son, but her disappearance was officially reported only four days later. On July 13, as a result of a large-scale rescue operation, Rivera's body was found.
Naya Rivera began her career as a child, appearing in various TV series and commercials. She gained fame after playing Santana Lopez in the series Glee, which aired on the American network Fox from 2009 to 2015.
