As we previously reported, Rivera went missing on July 8 after going boating with her 4-year-old son Josey Dorsey at Ventura County’s Lake Piru. Josey was found safe on the boat but no one could locate Rivera at the time. After a search that went on for several days, her body was recovered on July 13.

The outlet has obtained Rivera’s death certificate, which was filed in Ventura County, and confirms that Rivera’s cause of death was “drowning” and states that she died within a manner of “[minutes],” PEOPLE reports. It also notes that there were no other significant conditions that contributed to her death.

At the time, Sheriff Bill Ayub said at a press conference that authorities speculated that Rivera drowned after boosting her son onto the boat after a swim. “The idea perhaps being that the boat started drifting, it was unanchored, and that she mustered enough energy to get her son back onto the boat, but not enough to save herself,” he shared.
