Naya Rivera’s Family Statement On Death: “Heaven Gained Our Sassy Angel” – Deadline

She hired the boat around 1:00 pm, for three hours. When she wasn't back by 4:30 the staff did go looking for them.

I don't know how experienced a swimmer she was, but reportedly most of the people who have drowned in that lake were not good swimmers.

If she was a good swimmer she may have gone into the water without the life jacket on.

Maybe she did not expect the boat to float away, but since it wasn't anchored the wind could have caused it to move quickly. She may have had to help her son get closer to the boat using one arm, which could have worn her out. I've done this many times with my daughter just to get out to the "float" on the lake and I can't imagine being able to tread water even for another 20 minutes.

Then, once she lifted him up onto the boat, the current could have carried the boat even further and she wasn't able to grasp onto the boat and went under.

Oh I hadn’t thought about how she would’ve had to swim with one arm while pulling him. It’s a miracle she got him back to the boat. That’s a strong mama instinct. I’d love to know how far the boat had drifted. I am a great swimmer who is a little averse to swimming with a life jacket in the middle of lakes, but this story has changed that for me.

I was once told by a K9 handler with a water certified HRD dog that once a drowning starts, an adult can drop 1-2 feet per second. IMO it happens fast & without a lot of noise. Very scary.

IMO

I find this comment extremely distasteful and cruel. I don't think people would have believed this, certainly not the people that count. There is nothing I have seen to suggest that she was anything but a very good and loving mother.

Her legacy is of professional success, a loving and loved daughter, sister and I believe Aunt and that which she thought was her personal pinnacle, her beautiful son.

I agree. Now that the official word has been released, I think the speculation here about how it happened is not helpful or sensitive to the loved ones. Better to now post memories, photos and thoughts about dear Naya.

Apparently, her last act was to save her son. She was a good mother. God bless her and her family.

I agree.

JMVHO.

I hope her former colleagues that became close friends with her get to stay close to her son, and tell him about her as he grows up. I feel terrible for her family.

Her fear must have been awful

 

[WillenFan21]

I went swimming today with my 2.5 year old nephew and almost 1 year old niece at my sisters. My oldest nephew who is going to be 8 is able to swim on his own with no help. My niece was outside on the deck with my mom and I was hanging in the pool with my nephew who was wearing floaties. I was holding him swimming with him and I could see where Naya would get tired out especially considering the water she was in was deep to where her feet couldn't reach bottom. I got tired out within a few seconds and when you are holding a child swimming with them it does tire you out quickly. Naya was so courageous and strong for being able to get Josey up on that boat. A mothers love, and selfless she is. So heartbreaking.

I’ve watched several videos of Josey.
He is so cute, funny, vibrant ...such a beautiful combination of his parents! Heartbreaking that his mother is gone. May she live on with respect, remembrance and love. Kudos to Ryan. Stay strong. Lean into Josey’s sweet spirit for healing.

MOO

The messages are going to trickle out. But you’re still here with me. And I’m not done remembering your legacy.

You would tell me “you look so skinny” EVERY TIME you saw me and it made me giggle slash I loved it and when I told you how it made me feel...you said “well I’d always like to hear that I look skinny so I make sure to make others feel good like that.” We had a play date in the works for this week and I can’t wait for it to be over so I can stop thinking about how I missed our chance to be together. I loved how you drank martini’s and no one would know you smoked cuz you were a mastermind at hiding it. I’m doing something everyday to honor your strength and it helps me to feel close to you. I love you Nay

We called her out of the water and she came. If you're not a believer, I don't know what more proof you'd need.
