Naya Rivera’s fans hold vigil at Lake Piru (photos)

Rivera — who was out boating with her 4-year-old son Josey when she is thought to have gotten into trouble in the water — was lost for a number of days before divers found her body.

After it was confirmed she had died, her fans held a candlelight vigil at Lake Piru, California, to celebrate her life.


The Naya Rivera Army account on Twitter posted at the time: “It’s a little far away mostly to give people that are traveling, time to take off work and be able to be a part of this.

“Time is at 5 since it gets hot but doesn’t mean you can’t be there before. I hope many of you can make it! Share it to those you think might want to go!”


Rivera had rented a boat for a day on the lake with her son. It is believed that she got into difficulties while swimming and managed to get Josey back on the boat but was unable to save herself. Josey was found asleep in the rented vessel by another boater and later told Ventura County Sherrif’s deputies that his mother had gone swimming in the water but didn’t get back up.
