It seems like just yesterday that “Glee” star Cory Monteith was found dead in a hotel room.

But actually, he died exactly seven years ago today.

I was studious (read: nerdy) and went to an arts high school, so, naturally, I watched “Glee” as a teen.

To be honest, I haven’t thought about “Glee” in years—but I was still shook when I heard this afternoon that Naya Rivera, beloved “Glee” star, had disappeared while boating at a lake with her four-year-old son.

Then, just a few minutes ago (the afternoon of July 13, 2020), investigators gave a press conference and announced that they had found a body that they are “confident” belongs to Naya Rivera.

Such a tragedy—for Rivera, her son, and her entire family.

Rest in peace, Naya.
