The sheriff who spoke at the conference gave details on where they discovered Naya, explaining that she was found on the Northeast portion of the lake. That area is 30 to 60-feet deep and is full of heavy brush and trees.
He also said her son helped them piece together what happened by giving them information on what occurred while he was on the lake with his mother.
Today out at Lake Piru, fellow costars of Naya’s from Glee stood hand to hand with members of Naya’s family. The moment was special because they were honoring Naya, but also because today is the seven-year-anniversary of Cory Monteith’s death, who was also on Glee.
