Naya’s body was found yesterday July 13 2020 at Lake Piru, seven years to-the-day after the death of her former ‘Glee’ co-star Cory Monteith from a heroin overdose. Naya had gone swimming with her 4-year-old son Josey however authorities believe that strong currents and not wearing a life-vest may have caused her to drown.
