The late Naya Rivera‘s younger sister Nickayla has reportedly moved in with her ex-husband Ryan Dorsey to help raise her five-year-old son Josey.

The 33-year-old actress passed away in July after tragically drowning in California’s Lake Piru during a boat trip with Josey.

An eyewitness said, “They seem really comfortable together and are obviously helping each other through a very difficult period in both their lives. They were fooling around and chatting the whole time. They’re obviously helping lift each other’s spirits.”

Naya‘s full autopsy report was released a couple of weeks ago and it revealed some devastating details about the day she died.

UPDATE: Hours after the news went public, Nickayla released a statement in response to the report.
