Naya Rivera’s Ex-Husband, Ryan Dorsey,
Files Wrongful Death Lawsuit.

“serious emotional distress” and “substantial”
damages due to the loss of his mother. .
Rivera, known best for her role on ‘Glee,’
accidentally drowned during a boat outing with
Josey in July 2020 on California’s Lake Piru.

properly stocked with safety equipment
as required by California Law. .
[The boat was] not equipped with a safely
accessible ladder, adequate rope, an anchor,
a radio or any security mechanisms to prevent
swimmers from being separated from their
boats, nor any flotation or lifesaving devices, Ryan Dorsey, via TMZ.
Dorsey also claims that the employee who rented the boat
to Rivera failed to warn her to wear the provided life jacket. .

that there is a lack of signage
around the lake warning of its
dangerous conditions. .
According to Dorsey’s suit, at least
26 other people have drowned at Lake Piru
since its recreational facilities opened.
