Rivera, who played Santana during all six seasons of Glee, tragically drowned on July 8 while swimming with her son Josey at Lake Piru, which is near Santa Clarita, California.
It’s believed that she had jumped into the water to help Josey back onto their small rental boat but couldn’t make it back herself.
Her little boy was found alone in the boat that evening with no sign of his mother. Rivera’s body was found at the lake on the morning of July 13, following a five-day search.
