LOS ANGELES - AFP
The pathologist confirmed that the star of the "Glee" series, actress Naya Rivera, whose body was found in a lake where she lost for five days, that she had died as a result of "accidental drowning accident".
Examination of the corpse certainly allowed her to belong to the 33-year-old actress, while she did not show traces of wounds, the pathologist in Ventura, near Los Angeles, said in a statement.
He explained that there is no indication that alcohol or drugs played a role in the sinking of Naya Rivera.
The artist sank in Lake Peru after she rented a boat on July 8th with her four-year-old son. It has since lost it, and extensive searches commenced the same day with the participation of divers and helicopters.
Police said the actor's son was found asleep in the boat wearing a lifejacket hours after sailing.
The actress’s son stated that he and his mother were swimming in the lake, and that she had helped him get back onto the boat, and when he turned around, he saw her “disappear under the water,” as police chief Bill Ayoub said.
Rivera was famous for her performance of Santana Lopez in the "Glee" series in which she participated for six seasons (2009-2015).
This American high school television act was a great success and ended in 2015.
Rivera has also recently participated in the "Divius Maids" and "Step Up: High Water" series.
Rivera divorced in 2018 from the father of the child actor Ryan Dorsey, and they were taking turns custody.
The "Glee" team witnessed a group of tragedies that dissolved with the participating actors, among them the actor Mark Saling's suicide in 2018. Also, Canadian actor Coulary Monteth died in July 2013 due to an drug overdose.
