Naya Rivera's autopsy report confirms 'accidental drowning'

MUMBAI: An autopsy confirmed on Tuesday that actress Naya Rivera died from accidental drowning, officials said, while her family released a statement honouring her "everlasting legacy and magnetic spirit."

The examination, performed the day after the 33-year-old's body was found in a Southern California lake, showed no signs of traumatic injury or disease that might have contributed to the drowning and gave no initial indication that drugs or alcohol may have played a role in her death, the Ventura County Medical Examiner said in a statement.

Dental records were used to confirm Rivera's identity and routine toxicology tests will be performed for the presence of drugs and alcohol, the statement said.

The actress was found in Lake Piru on Monday, five days after she disappeared while boating with her four-year-old son, who was found asleep and alone on the boat hours later.

The autopsy's findings were all consistent with the expectations of the Sheriff's Office, which conducted the search and investigation.
