Naya Rivera's son still holds guilt he wasn't able to save his mom by tossing her a rope the day she drowned


The grieving 41-year-old confessed that even their nine-year-old son Josey - who was only four at the time - feels guilty over not being able to rescue her

It's been nearly five years since the tragic accidental drowning death of Naya Rivera, at age 33, and her ex-husband Ryan Dorsey still can't look at pictures of her and carries tremendous guilt for not being the hero that fateful day. The On Call guest star remembered collapsing at Ralph's grocery store in Big Bear upon hearing Rivera was missing and he drove 100MPH the 145 miles to Lake Piru to help with the five-day search effort for her remains. Even Naya and Ryan's nine-year-old son Josey Hollis Dorsey - who was only four at the time - feels guilty over not being able to rescue her after their unanchored pontoon boat went adrift in Lake Piru as she exhausted herself getting him back onboard (CCTV footage from July 8, 2020)
