Glee star Naya Rivera is missing and feared drowned at a California lake

News24xx.com - Glee star Naya Rivera is missing and feared drowned at a California lake, local officials said, with rescuers to continue a search for her on Thursday. The Ventura County Sheriff’s office earlier tweeted it was looking for a “possible drowning victim” at the lake and said a dive team was being deployed to the area.

Rivera, 33, is best known for her role as high school cheerleader Santana Lopez in Glee, the TV series that she starred in for six seasons.

She rented a boat on Wednesday to take her four-year-old son onto Lake Piru, northwest of Los Angeles, local media cited the County Sheriff as saying.

The child told investigators that he and his mother were swimming, but his mother never got back into the boat, CBS Los Angeles reported.

Another person out on the lake alerted emergency services after finding the child, alone but apparently unharmed.

“He’s in good health,” Ventura County Sheriff’s Department Captain Eric Buschow said of Rivera’s son. “The family is going through a very traumatic time right now.”
