LOS ANGELES — The family of Naya Rivera has reached a settlement in the wrongful death lawsuit they filed, more than a year after the "Glee" actor accidentally drowned in Lake Piru during a boating trip with her son.
On Monday, an attorney representing Rivera's estate released a statement announcing that "all parties have entered into a global settlement, which is subject to approval by the Ventura County Superior Court on March 16."
In November 2020, the TV star's ex-husband, Ryan Dorsey, filed a complaint accusing Ventura County, a boat rental company and the United Water Conservation District — which oversees Lake Piru — of failing to properly warn against the dangers of swimming in the lake or provide adequate safety equipment on the pontoon boat Rivera rented.
