‘Naya sacrificed her life to save her 4-year-old son’

The news that breaks your heart. You already thought it probably went that way, but somewhere you didn't want to know. Yesterday, the body of 33-year-old Glee actress Naya Rivera was found in Lake Piru, California. What exactly happened during the boat trip has been a mystery for several days, but Sheriff Bill Ayub has now provided more details about the circumstances of the tragic accident. Among other things: the heartbreaking fact that Naya sacrificed her own life to get her son Josey back on the boat and save him after they went swimming together.

“There are many currents on the lake that appear especially in the afternoon,’ said the sheriff. ”We believe it was mid-afternoon when she disappeared, and we think the boat may have started to drift. It was not anchored. She gathered enough strength to get her son back on the boat, but not enough to save herself.” I can seriously get a lump in my throat reading this kind of news. Life is suddenly such an unpredictable, strange journey. Dear Naya. If I may believe your friends, your genius and humor were unparalleled. You were so independent and strong. A true mama bear for her son, until the last breath. Rest in peace.
