Naya Rivera went swimming in rough water alone with her son and neither had life jackets. She drowned in front of her son after she put him in the boat and was then too exhausted to save herself. Her son has expressed guilt about not being able to save his mother.

>“Something he’s said over and over is that he was trying to find a life raft, and there was a rope, but there was a big spider on the rope, and he was too scared to throw it," Dorsey says. "I keep reassuring him, ‘Buddy, that rope wasn’t going to be long enough.'"
