Actress Naya Rivera's body was found at Lake Piru, California six days after she went missing on July 8, her 4-year-old son Josey was found alone in a poonton boat rented by the actress. The Ventura County Sheriff’s office had presumed that the actress had drowned and it was confirmed as her body was recovered after an extensive search.
Sheriff Bill Ayub, in a statement said that Naya and Josey were caught in strong riptides and as a last act of bravery, the actress saved her son by using her last bit of energy to push him up on the boat before disappearing in the lake.
Now, a picture has surfaced from Lake Piru, where her cast-mates from the popular show Glee gathered to pay their respects to Naya. She had rose to fame playing Santana Lopez on the show.
Twitter users are claiming that the group consists of actress Heather Morris, who played Naya's love interest in the show and had volunteered in the search operation. Others, Twitter claims, are Amber Riley, Chris Colfer, Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale who were pictured holding hands in front of the lake. It is even more heartbreaking as exactly seven years ago, Corey Monteith, the lead actor from the show passed away after an overdose from a lethal combination of alcohol and heroin. The show was still on air when Corey passed away.
Take a look at the picture below:
