Authorities heading the search for former Glee star, Naya Rivera announced Monday, July 13, that they had found a body in the lake which they believed was hers. By Tuesday, news surfaced that the actress used the last of her strength to save her 4-year-old son before she died, according to Ventura County Sheriff Bill Ayub.

Reports have it that Naya and her son had gone swimming in the lake. Ventura County Sheriff Bill Ayub said, Naya Rivera cause of death.
“There are a lot of currents on the lake that appear typically in the afternoon. We believe it was mid-afternoon when she disappeared, the idea being that the boat started drifting, it was unanchored and that she mustered enough energy to get her son back onto the boat, but not enough to save herself.”
