Naya Rivera saved her son’s life before drowning, as she pushed him aboard their boat before slipping underwater.
Naya Rivera saved the life of her beloved four-year-old sonJosey before she tragically drowned in Southern California’s Lake Piru. At the July 13 news conference announcing that her body had been recovered and identified, Ventura County Sheriff Bill Ayub revealed that Josey told investigators that his mom pushed him onto the safety of the boat before slipping underwater. The little one never saw his mom again after that. Josey was later found asleep on the boat with his life jacket on, as the vessel was discovered unanchored and adrift in the northern part of the lake with no sign of Naya just after 4:30pm on July 8.
“We know from speaking with her son that he and Naya swam in the lake together at some point during their journey. It was during that time that her son described being helped into the boat by Naya, who boosted him onto the deck from behind.
