Ryan Dorsi It opens to the destroyed loss Naya RiveraRevealing new details about the day when the “Glee” star sank tragically at the age of 33 on July 8, 2020.

Naya Rivera was on a boat riding with her then son, Jose, in Lake Peru in Vinterora Province, California. According to the reports and later confirmation of a Jose account, the two went to swim in the lake.

At some point, Naya Rivera Jose helped return to the boat, but she could not pull herself.

In his first interview since the death of Rivera, Dorsi spoke with People Magazine About how their 9 -year -old son, Josie, still holds a deep feeling of guilt on what happened on that day in Lake Peru in Vinterora Province, California. According to Dorisi, Josie, who was only 4 years old at the time, repeatedly he tried to help his mother but was very afraid of behaving.

“There is something he said again and again that he was trying to find a lifeline, and there was a rope, but there was a large spider on the rope, and he was very afraid of throwing it,” he shared Dorssi. “I still reassure him, my friend, that the rope will not be long enough.”

Josie also remembers that the wind was strong on that day, and he initially hesitated to enter the water. However, Rivera encouraged him, and told him, “Don’t be ridiculous!”

While they praised, Riviera noticed that the boat began to drift, which is decisive details that were included in the illegal death suit. Dorssi later presented against VenturaWhich was settled in 2022. The rented boat lacked anchor and float devices, which could have helped prevent the tragedy.

I realized that the boat was moving away, urging River Josie to swim. The young boy summoned the “tanks” and pulled himself “around the boat” while his mother was working to make him safety.

According to accident reports, Rivera finally drowned after exhausting herself to help Jose to return to the boat.

And Dorsi said: “He said that the last thing I said was his name, then I went, and he did not see it anymore.” “He shakes my world that he had to witness her last moments.”

Dorsi discovered that Rivera was missing through a phone call from her mother’s husband. At that time, he was in the Ralph supermarket in Big Bey Lake, California, and buying supplies for a friend’s birthday parties.

“I collapsed into a platform of drinks,” Dorshi recalls. “I was afraid of the worst.”

Without hesitation, 145 miles raced to Lake Peru, desperate to reach his son. He said: “I have traveled to 100 things along the entire way through my four dangers on the cigarettes that smoke in the chain, and I don’t even really smoke, and I only cry.” “I just wanted to reach Josie.”

When the authorities found Josie alone and slept on the drift boat, the worst concerns of everyone confirmed. Rivera disappeared underwater three hours ago, and she started searching for her body.

Five days after the research, the authorities regained the body of Rivera on July 13, 2020, in a far part of the lake. “When that happened, I found myself wearing my head, like,” I can’t believe that she left, “Dorssi admitted:” It is still surreal every day. “

In the years after the tragedy, Dorsi and Jossi worked to move in life without Rivera. Two years ago, they moved from Los Angeles to West Virginia, where they built a quieter life. While they made steps in healing, the holidays remain particularly difficult.

“We have made the book of memories for Josie, who sits next to his bed, and during the holidays he was crying, he was looking at him,” he participated in Dorshi. “You can not only embrace and tell him,” I know life is not fair. Bad things happen and there is no reason for that, and you just have to do your best to be a good person. “

It admits that finding the correct words to explain the tragedy is still a challenge.

“It is difficult to explain things that you cannot really understand regardless of age,” he said. “I am not a great believer in everything that happens for some reason because I can’t think about the reason for his mother.”

Despite the pain, Josie is still a bright and happy baby, bringing joy to those around him.

“Happy, all the energy,” Dorsi said. “I try to be the best parents who can be and raise a good young man. He gives me a reason to continue my life.”

Although Rivera’s loss will always be deeply perceived, Dorsi continues to honor her memory by raising Josie with love, flexibility and strength – as Rivera embodies herself.
