"You took my breath away and always will. Another angel has gained her wings. My heart goes out to the Rivera family."

According to Sgt Kevin Donoghue, Rivera's 4-year-old son Josey had seen his mother "disappear beneath the water." The child was napping alone in the boat when he was found.

Ventura County Sheriff Bill Ayub said that the actress had managed to get her son back on the boat before she drowned. May her soul rest in peace.
