Beautiful but deadly lake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The cast of Glee <\/em>has seen its fair share of tragedy.\u00a0 Since 2013, three actors on the show have passed away.\u00a0 The most recent death occurred this past summer on July 8.\u00a0 Naya Rivera and her four-year-old son rented a pontoon boat from Parks and Recreation Management (PMC) to spend the day on Lake Piru.\u00a0Fans were shocked to hear that the actress did not return to shore, leaving her son as the lone survivor.\u00a0After an extensive and thorough days-long search, Rivera\u2019s body was recovered.\u00a0 Four months since that accident, Rivera\u2019s estate and her ex-husband have filed a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of her son.<\/p>\n

The defendants named in the lawsuit are Parks and Recreation Management (PMC) and United Water Conservation District.\u00a0 The plaintiffs allege that the county did not provide proper warnings to lake-goers that there were possible risks<\/a> associated with swimming in the lake.\u00a0 On July 8, in particular, the current was choppy, and the winds were 21 miles per hour.\u00a0 The mother and son duo were swimming aside of the pontoon boat when the wind picked up, pushing the boat away.\u00a0 Rivera\u2019s son was reportedly closer and was able to lift back into the boat.\u00a0 Rivera, however, was not able to successfully make it back to the boat and unfortunately drowned.<\/p>\n

To make matters worse, the pontoon boat that was rented did not contain adequate safety equipment, such as a ladder, rope, radio, anchor, or flotation devices.\u00a0 While Rivera\u2019s son was in the boat, he looked for a rope to throw to his mother.\u00a0 The boat and child were found an hour later by a PMC agent.\u00a0 In addition, signs were not posted near the lake to warn swimmers of changing lake water levels and other dangerous conditions.\u00a0 According to the lawsuit, 26 other victims have drowned in Lake Piru.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
