Naya Rivera’s Best Moments: From Child Star to Glee and Motherhood

[@iToftus]

It’s heart wrenching seeing her talk about her son and not wanting to miss anything 💔 I hope for a miracle but I feel quite pessimistic about this situation 😫

[@iToftus]

Ramey Chisum you don’t know what truly happened and neither do I. I hope she or anyone would never do something like that so please stop spreading unknown information until we know more in respect to her, her family and in particular her son.

Yes but the police have changed the mission from a rescue mission to a recovery mission so they are presuming she is dead and are now looking for a body so that’s why the media is saying she’s dead. I also pray that she is rescued safely

[@spiritualqueenvibes6661]

They don't mean no harm by it at this point it is difficult to hope all is well as much as I would like to be positive about her return intuitively I know and unfortunately she is no longer with us and I'm not waiting for the media or the government to confirm that it's going on 2 or 3 days now her son was found alive on the boat you seriously think she's out there still alive in the water 🤔 I honestly hope she's out there clinging to a branch or something but I highly doubt it this is extremely sad and if anything I just keep thinking about that poor baby losing his mother what's sad is I never knew who she was until now until she went missing I don't keep up with social media or celebrities as much and I never watched glee before at all so I wouldn't know of her but her face is obviously familiar and if she's 30 or younger I wouldn't remember her as a child star because I was a child myself back then🤷‍♀️ this plus the children that got shot & killed over the 4th of July weekend it's alot praying for her baby boy & her loved ones Rip Kobe & Giana Rip George Floyd cancel karen cancel corona

[@tinal1600]

There are 2 reasons why Naya is presumed deceased. First, due to her son's statement to the authorities that he saw her jump into the water & then not returning to the boat. Second, the sides of Lake Piru are very steep in this man-made lake & it would be highly unlikely that she could've traversed the bank to get over to safety.

Aww she’s so adorable when she was young and her son looks like her so much 😭😭 I hope they find her body and bring her home to rest so her son can visit her in her resting place 😭😭 I’m just so heartbroken for her boy and her family and friends she seems so down to earth!! I pray that someone has more information about her and what happened before she left with her son to the lake !! There’s more to this I am sure!! It’s just devastating not knowing what happened.. and that lake looks calmed and still as hell 😩! Heard this lake has so many people that comes here for a swim and they never returned so I am thinking maybe this lake is cursed by those who have drowned there 😩😢

Lake Piru is not a natural lake, and its bottom is covered by trees and other debris, in which a swimmer can easily get entangled. The lake also has strong currents, making swimming difficult.

y'all just reaching. Let's be realistic, she's dead, it's sad but true

[@marleymescudi]

What do you mean? They can presume she's dead because humans can't breath under water girl, let alone for two days. You don't need an autopsy to confirm death, they're preformed to establish the cause of death. The shore of the lake was already searched, it's been confirmed she did not make it out of the lake. Unfortunately due to that lake being 130 ft deep and having underwater trees it's likely her body will never be recovered.
