Which actress drowned

A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed over the drowning of Glee actress Naya Rivera, who died during a boating trip with her young son in July. The suit was filed by Rivera's ex-husband and on behalf of her estate over the accident on a California lake.

It blames the local authority and the managers of Lake Piru, north-west of Los Angeles, where the accident happened. It alleges swimmers were not adequately warned of the risks of swimming there. The late year-old actress was best known for playing cheerleader Santana Lopez in Glee.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of her son by Rivera's ex-husband and the boy's father, Ryan Dorsey. It alleges that the boat rented by Rivera was "not equipped with a safely accessible ladder, adequate rope, an anchor, a radio, or any security mechanisms to prevent swimmers from being separated from their boats".

It also said it did not have any flotation devices. It also alleges there were no warning signs at the lake alerting swimmers to potentially dangerous conditions such as strong currents, low visibility and changing water depths. Josey, Rivera's son with her former husband, actor Ryan Dorsey, was found sleeping and alone on the drifting boat later that afternoon. Five days later, her body was found floating in an area of the lake that is about 30 feet deep.

The Ventura County Sheriff's Office said she was most likely trapped in thick vegetation underwater for several days before floating to the top. Rivera's body was found seven years to the day after co-star Cory Monteith died at 31 from a toxic mix of alcohol and heroin.
