Naya was recovered from Lake Piru after a six day search.
Ventura County Sheriff’s Department confirmed the tragic news – insisting they found no evidence to suspect suicide.
Describing her final moments, Ventura County official, Sheriff Bill Ayub, said: “It would be speculation to say at this point there are a lot of currents in the lake that appear particularly in the afternoon.
“We believe it was mid-afternoon when she disappeared, the idea perhaps being that the boat started drifting. It was unanchored.
“She mustered enough energy to get her son back on the boat but not enough energy to save herself.”
The Sheriff’s Department official added: “We know from speaking with her son that he and Naya swam in the lake at some point in the day.
“He told investigators that he looked back and saw her disappear under the surface of the water.”
