Naya Rivera always looked out for her son - even in the final moments of her life. On Monday, as Ventura County Sheriff's officials confirmed that Rivera's <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/glee-star-naya-rivera-dead-at-33-as-police-find-body-at-lake-where-she-went-missing-313117">body had been found floating in the northeast corner</a> of Lake Piru, it brought an end to five days of relentless search in California lake. 
 
While addressing the media, the police stated that the actress died while saving her son.

The discovery came five days after Rivera disappeared on Lake Piru, where her son was found on July 8 asleep and alone on a rented pontoon boat, authorities said. Authorities said the following day that they believed Rivera had drowned, and they had shifted to working to find her body rather than find her alive. 
 
According to the police working on Rivera's case, the actor died trying to save her son. 
 
Ventura County Sheriff Bill Ayub said that Rivera had mustered enough energy to help her son, but was unable save herself. The officials believe that the actor had been trapped by vegetation beneath the surface of the lake, which is why it took five days to spot her.

Josey was found asleep in the rented boat by the search party on Wednesday.
