Her family is filing a wrongful death suit.
They say that the lake didn't warn people of the risks of swimming there. It's sad that the family is using her death to make money.

It's against the law in California to have a swimmer in the water without someone else (who is old enough) to operate the boat still onboard, plus another person to hold a flag to signal to other boats that people/ski equipment are in the water. So she was already breaking the law by stopping the boat and swimming with no one able to operate the boat.
Plus, at Lake Piru, swimming is only allowed at designated beach areas.
That said, it is California. So it wouldn't surprise me if the family won the lawsuit.
I hear she had alcohol in her system. This sounds like a case of a daily refusing to come to terms with a death.
shareNot sure about that (the alcohol thing). Either way, it was a bad decision to jump in the lake with no one in the boat to come get her if the wind picked up....
shareWell, that's the case right there. The family can sue the beer, booze or wine company for making her get drunk.
