Police says Naya Rivera used the last of her strength to save her 4-year-old son before she died.
Days after she was missing, the glee star actress’ body was discovered Monday morning at Lake Piru. the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office said during a news conference.
Police say there was no indication of foul play or that she took her own life
Rivera was best known for her role as high school cheerleader Santana Lopez in “Glee.”
She starred for six seasons in the wildly popular musical television series set in a US high school that ended in 2015.
Rivera began her career as a child actress and model, appearing in TV commercials in the US.
As a four-year-old, she starred in the Royal Family sitcom on CBS and had a number of other TV appearances.
But it was playing cold-hearted Santana Lopez in Glee, the hugely popular musical comedy TV series, that made her a star.
