The ‘Glee’ actress Naya Rivera drowned in July 2020 while sailing with her young son on a California lake and now the child will receive financial compensation that the family of Naya has defined as “fair” because of the pain and trauma she has had to endure as a result of the loss of her mother.
Initially Naya’s family and the father of her son, her ex Ryan Dorsey, sued the California County Recreation and Parks Administration and the state’s Water Bodies Protection and Conservation District Office for manslaughter, arguing that the actress’s death could have been prevented if the boat she rented had been better. equipped.
According to loved ones, the boat was not equipped with a safe access ladder, a suitable rope, an anchor, a radio or any safety mechanism to prevent the swimmers from becoming separated of the boat and end up floating adrift.
A subsequent inspection also revealed that the boat did not even have life jackets, which is a violation California law, which requires all boats over 16 feet to be equipped with flotation devices.
Now Naya’s heirs have reached an agreement with the other parties involved in the lawsuit, subject to the approval of the Superior Court of Ventura, and his legal representatives indicated that the sum of money that Josey will receive will significantly help him move forward with his life beyond the tragedy that he had to witness.
