Amber Riley, best known for playing Mercedes in ‘Glee’ also shared some sweet memories with Naya on her Instagram stories.
A settlement was reached in early March, in the wrongful death lawsuit filed by Naya Rivera’s family against Ventura County, California, following her tragic drowning at age 33.
The lawsuit was filed in November 2020 by Rivera’s ex-husband Ryan Dorsey, on behalf of their 6-year-old son Josey, alleging that the actress’ death was preventable, as her boat did not comply with US Coast Guard safety standards.
